I think a racist would say they were Yellow! They are oriental- and orientals come in all shades of colors.
The idea is, in a civilized world- Pigment coloration of skin should not matter- as no one is superior to any other based on skin color.
We are all equal!
And for all those who don't agree- You will be a knuckle dragging Troglodyte and menace to a civilized society for all your days on Earth!
You created this woke world, now learn how to navigate it.
Odd, our little lizard might just be racist.
'Oriental'
Common complaints about using Oriental to describe individuals of Asian descent include that it should be reserved for objects, such as rugs, and not people and that it’s antiquated, akin to using Negro to describe a Black person. Howard University Law Professor Frank H. Wu made that comparison in a 2009 New York Times piece about the state of New York banning Oriental on government forms and documents. Washington state had passed a similar ban in 2002.
“It’s associated with a time period when Asians had a subordinate status,” Wu told the Times. People link the term to old stereotypes of Asian people and an era when the U.S. government passed exclusion acts to keep Asian people from entering the country, he said. “For many Asian Americans, it’s not just this term: It’s about much more…It’s about your legitimacy to be here.”
In the same article, historian Mae M. Ngai, author of "Impossible Subjects: Illegal Aliens and the Making of Modern America," explained that while Oriental isn’t a slur, it’s never been widely used by Asian people to describe themselves. Regarding the meaning of Oriental—Eastern—she said:
“I think it’s fallen into disfavor because it’s what other people call us. It’s only the East if you’re from somewhere else. It’s a Eurocentric name for us, which is why it’s wrong. You should call people by what (they) call themselves, not how they are situated in relation to yourself.”
When in doubt, use the term Asian person or Asian American. However, if you know someone’s ethnicity, refer to them as Korean, Japanese American, Chinese Canadian, and so forth.
