So, someone did delete my posts. And the Poly Admin didn't have the balls to tell me.

I have no problem with being called Occidental. Or white. Or European.

I understand what the problem is with yellow (associated with cowardice in English, at least).

I don't understand the problem with Oriental, but it's cool with me because Asian has less syllables anyway.

And then I'll insist on you calling them East Asian.

Those bastards don't get the entire ****ing continent

[Theben]

You fall under the "Hindus" category.

[SlowwHand]

Those are fighting words.

[Krill]

Need I say more? Rotten ****ing Civ 3 bastards.

As it turns out, that was a rhetorical question.

Scumbag AI exploiting civ 2 whore.

Not our fault that we had better marketing and branding here. People think of us as kung-fu masters, mathemagicians, compuwhizzes, SCIENCE!-tists, and gold farmers. You're the guys who have those wonky new-agey weirdos, and bad tech support centers.



(Actually, the "Asian" thing fir East Asians and "Oriental" being offensive only works in the America. For the Britonese, "Oriental" is an inoffensive way of saying East Asian, and "Asian" refers to you South Asians.)

No! And don't call them "camel-jockeys" either. Their primary beast of burden was the donkey, which is too broad a demographic to turn into an epithet. "Mahavit" (elephant jockey) would be more of a compliment. Elephants are cool.

The Brits usually just call them "Pakis" and "Hindus."

Making the world a better place, one slur at a time!

[Q Classic]

Gold farmers?

Gold farmers.

I'll admit to using "Asian" for East Asian and then "South Asian" for you Indian types.
