Question for the Asians on the board

[Patrick Chewing]

Probably more for the Chinese or Korean community. So whenever I go walking in the park, I see a lot of older Asians walk while holding a bar or a stick behind their back, and I've noticed it's only Asians that do this. What's the secret? What's the reason? What do they know that the rest of us don't?

Yes, I do leave the house on a daily basis. You should try it.

Look how mad you are. In danger of another heart attack. How many would that be, Patty? 4? 5? At your age and weight all this anger just isn’t healthy.

He's so clueless. Not one day can go by where I can make a topic without RRR3 and his alts just going absolutely bananas.

[Gruppenführer]

I have noticed too. Very common among older people. But mostly Asians.

Where my Orientals at? I thought this board was full of Asians? Mr. Fonzworth? Does it have to do with balance?

[SATAN]

Probably for their posture or something.

Orientals? The term is Asians you racist SOB.

Besides this entire post was about nothing but trolling LeBron 23.

there's nothing wrong with the term 'oriental'. orientals/asians don't need to hide under the cover of libtardation - they just live their lives, make bank and do their thing.

Oriental means Eastern. As in, from the East.

I saw this to when I was in the big apple.
I asked one of them , and the response was a smirk...
I said really what is it for ?
An older gentleman , said they are prepared to give poopsie a rectal when they meet him.

[ShawkFactory]

Most old people do this. Your deep postural muscles get weaker as you age, so them holding their hands/objects behind their back is for balance to prevent from slumping too far forward when walking.

In 2016 Obama signed a bill prohibiting the use of the word Oriental in federal documents. And to me it was one of the greatest example of manipulative virtue signalling. Making the white Liberals feel as if the Democrats did something good, while actual Asians are like, "Who cares?"


It is now politically incorrect to use the word “Oriental,” and the admonition has the force of law: President Obama recently signed a bill prohibiting use of the term in all federal documents. Rep. Grace Meng, the New York congresswoman who sponsored the legislation, exulted that “at long last this insulting and outdated term will be gone for good.”

As an Oriental, I am bemused. Apparently Asians are supposed to feel demeaned if someone refers to us as Orientals. But good luck finding a single Asian American who has ever had the word spat at them in anger. Most Asian Americans have had racist epithets hurled at them at one time or another: Ch*nk, slant eye, gook, Nip, zipperhead. But Oriental isn’t in the canon.

And why should it be? Literally, it means of the Orient or of the East, as opposed to of the Occident or of the West. Last I checked, geographic origin is not a slur. If it were, it would be wrong to label people from Mississippi as Southerners.

Of course I understand that some insults have benign origins. “Jap,” for example, is simply a shortening of the word Japanese, but that one stings. As 127,000 Japanese Americans were carted off to internment camps during World War II, they were repeatedly referred to by their fellow citizens and the media as Japs. It was meant as an insult and understood as such. Clearly context is important.

The problem with “Oriental,” San Francisco Chronicle columnist Jeff Yang told NPR, is that “When you think about it, the term … feels freighted with luggage. You know, it’s a term which you can’t think of without having that sort of the smell of incense and the sound of a gong kind of in your head.” In other words it makes Asians sound exotic because it was in circulation at a time when exoticizing stereotypes were prevalent.

Erika Lee, director of the Immigration History Research Center at the University of Minnesota and author of “The Making of Asian America: A History,” offered a similar explanation to NBC News: “In the U.S., the term ‘Oriental’ has been used to reinforce the idea that Asians were/are forever foreign and could never become American. These ideas helped to justify immigration exclusion, racial discrimination and violence, political disfranchisement and segregation.” Lee also claimed that continued use of the term “perpetuates inequality, disrespect, discrimination and stereotypes towards Asian Americans.”

I don’t see it that way; I see self-righteous, fragile egos eager to find offense where none is intended. A wave of anti-Oriental discrimination is not sweeping the country. Besides, the term has been steadily falling out of circulation since the 1950s, and it’s mainly used today by older Asians and the proprietors of hundreds if not thousands of restaurants, hotels, shops and organizations with Oriental in their name. The well-intentioned meddlers will create trouble for exactly the population they want to defend.

My profession, Oriental medicine, is among those on the receiving end of the identity-politics outbreak. A funny thing I noticed is that my Caucasian (dare I say Occidental?) colleagues, not my Asian colleagues, are most eager to remove Oriental from public discourse. I suppose they’re busy shouldering their burden of guilt. Margaret Cho said it best: “White people like to tell Asians how to feel about race because they’re too scared to tell black people.”

Self righteous is the word.

This. Pretty sure it's an American thing though. In the UK they would say oriental and when they said Asian it was usually in reference to Pakis and Indians
