Im Full Italian, and my friends call me guinea and guido alot, even though most of them arent italian. It doesnt bother me at all, i feel as if racial slurs are used to much nowadays to mean anything serious unless the intent of harm is behind the words, and if thats the case, the words dont mean much because an altercation was imminent anyways...

Well, friends are a lot different than others. For example, if my friends call me a chink, it's all in good fun and I wouldn't get mad. But if a stranger called me that, I would get pissed. So a lot of it is based upon the current situation.

Indians are considered South Asian, what with the Indian subcontinent being south of Asia and all. But don't say South Indians because that's an insult to the North Indians, and vice versa. Damn sensitive emo kids.

I'm Chinese, and some racist guy called me an Oriental trying to make me angry. I just looked at him and said do you really think I'm offended by that? Seriously though, people read too much into words. A gross generalization similar to this might be when black people call other black people "nigga" and they're okay with it, but when a white person calls a black person "nigga" it's considered racist.

its ok Lady Gaga knows that this song that is not intended to offend anyone. Therefore naturally, it will offend everyone and their asian/hispanic grandmothers.
Shes just trollin' in real life: see how many people you can make mad and then wear a dress out of meat to piss off the vegetarians & top it off with some eggs & boom you have breakfast
I guess people just don't like breakfast as much as they used to :(

I use other words to classify/describe the ethnic origins of people. I don't personally say 'chola' or 'oriental' though, I use 'mestizo' and 'chinamen' to refer to those terms. In fact now that I think about it it's time for another one of my arbitrary rankings/lists...


People from:
MEXICO/LATIN AMERICA Mestizos
CHINA Chinamen, Chinky-Chongs
AFRICA Nig-Nogs
INDIA Pakis
PAKISTAN Sandn*gg*rs
ARABIA Towelheads
JAPAN Japs, Yellows
RUSSIA Comrades
ABORIGINALIA Linees
EUROPE Honkeys
MONGOLIA Khans
NATIVE AMERICA Feathers
BRAZIL Tolupas
ITALY Wogs
VIETNAM Gooks
THAILAND/CAMBODIA Beipis
MALAYSIA Schloss
GERMANY Nazis
SPAIN Spics
CANADA Scalpers

If you disagree please communicate it nicely not like last time.

The only time I was offended by being called a racial slur is when someone called me a hunkie. It's a slur for a Hungarian American immigrant. For one, I'm Romanian. And two, I didn't emigrate here. My grandparents did. Being called racial slurs that actually pertain to me doesn't bother me, though. Budos Olah, gypsy, gyp, Roma. Whatever. As long as you get the race right, the stereotype doesn't bother me. Why get worked up? If you don't fit a negative stereotype, they're idiots. If you do fit the negative stereotype, get your crap together.

I was offended because they knew that I was Romanian and purposely called me Hungarian. There wasn't confusion involved. Just malice. I have nothing against Hungarians.

Edit: I should add, though, that Hungarians and Romanians in Romania don't get along, or didn't. A lot of Hungarians were forced to emigrate to Romania, and they clashed, from what my grandparents have told me. My grandparents definitely have something against Hungarians.

Oh well that is obviously something to get your panties in a bunch about, your anger is righteous and justified.

Anyway I think the real reason your people hate Hungarians is not due to some irrational 'not getting along', it's because of the Treaty of Trianon and the giving of half of Hungary, a region brimming over with Hungarians, to Romania ;)

When I ask my grandmother why she doesn't like Hungarians, she says they're rude and smell bad. Then she mumbles things about, "and the call ME Budos Olah..." She wasn't alive when the treaty was signed, but I'm sure she learned her dislike of Hungarians from her parents and the general discord between the groups by the time she was old enough to recognize it.

Edit: For those who don't know, "Budos Olah" is an insult the Hungarians use toward Romanians. It means "stinky Romanian" as far as I know. I've never looked it up, I've just been told that's what it means growing up. It may be something more profane they were sugar-coating for me as a kid.

mif.
it's not as bad as Latino
or Indian (for Native Americans) that is just the wrong country altogether

at least the orient (and thus oriental) has some roots coming from its meaning to the East
it is more of a geographical term used to describe a race (which is also made up but i wont start on that) it could be worse

Latino is PC. Much better to say this than to say Mexican and be wrong.

I'm Asian and I didn't even know that O.o
I like the word oriental. It's got great a pretty consotant/vowel pattern and it sounds super sexy so I wouldn't mind being called that at all.

Trivia- in my old French textbook the phrase 'you speak French like a Spanish cow' was used to mean 'you murder the French language'. The funny thing is my Spanish friend won school French speaking competition in junior and senior levels, came second in the region and won a free trip to New Caledonia. Methinks they need a new translation for that phrase.

I never thought oriental was a racial slur...although I don't understand how anyone is offended by a racial slur more so than any other offensive word..
