" if you have a sister who truly believes as you suggest, perhaps your sister needs to get out more,...? "
Read it again. I didn't say anything at all about her beliefs. I said she relayed to me there was a bias. She certainly is not the only person to relay this particular bias against Asians in her part of the country. She lives in SF. Small city by the bay. Doesn't get out much.. My post certainly is not blatant trolling. I am amazed by the cultural differences toward bigotry and racism that exist across our country. One man's trash is another man's treasure. I have never found issue with the term Oriental, yet I find that it is totally unacceptable in other parts of the country. ________________________________ From: ernest breakfield <erne...@backyardengineering.org> To: mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 2:46 AM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Is Orientals a PC term ? eh? (i'm going to give this the benefit of the doubt that this isn't just blatant trolling,... once.) i don't know where in California your sister lives, but in a state as large as California i don't doubt that you might find "some" who have a bias against anything you can name. i can assure you that in my fairly extensive travels of California, i have found no place where there is what i would call "a significant bias", and would suggest that those who may have such a view are by far in the minority. if you have a sister who truly believes as you suggest, perhaps your sister needs to get out more,...? ;-) cheers! e On 10/Sep/13 10:12, Richard Hattaway wrote: > My sister lives in California, and there it appears that some have > significant bias toward anyone of Asian descent, no matter the name.
