As language evolves, so do the terms and phrases we use to describe people of different ethnic backgrounds. The term 'oriental person' has been deemed problematic and offensive by many, as it perpetuates a sense of othering and exoticism. Instead, there are a variety of alternative terms that can be used to describe people of Asian descent, such as Asian, East Asian, Southeast Asian, or Pacific Islander. It's important to use language that is respectful and acknowledges the diversity of experiences and cultures among individuals of Asian descent. By using more inclusive language, we can create a more welcoming and respectful environment for people of all backgrounds.
