No, where exactly, what college, state, or country? I know its the German club but there are probably a thousand different German clubs across the country.

Let's see:

Colored => Negro => Black => African-American

Chinamen => Oriental => Asian => ?

The way I see it, Asian will also be considered offensive in about 5 years.

Where are we with Middle Eastern? Is that offensive yet?

Of course for contrast, there's the perenially popular and never questioned:
White => white => white => white.

I am not sure why ethnic terms are ok, then all of a sudden they're not, but I guess we need to continually re-orient ourselves to the correct terminology.

Clicking on the link takes you to the Collegetimes.

Online edition of the Virginia Tech newspaper.

Located in Blacksburg, Virginia.

I'm sure changing the name of the town is next on the agenda.

If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times, does he become disoriented?

My mother still says Negro. She's so embarrassing.

Boo.

 

[The ClayTaurus]

Boo.

Oh you loved it and you know it. Don't act like you didn't just to impress the cool kids...

Say Goodbye to:

The Orient Express
Orient-Thai Airlines
Orient Beach (French West Indies)

Oriental Institute at the University Of Chicago (archeology)
Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group

So much more.

Only in Oriental, North Carolina

Puulease. :talk2:

Don Knotts, you ain't.

Don Knotts, you ain't.

And he should thank God for that!

What? You don't like the toupee?

The scarf is sexy, right?

 

[Abbey Normal]

What? You don't like the toupee?

The scarf is sexy, right?

Uh, yeah. Sure.

Damn!

Liberal indoctrination has been in our schools for years now.

I only get to see conservative indoctrination in my school.

Gee, I thought you were in high school.

This is all such utter CRAP! I've NEVER heard that "oriental" was racist. WHAT - THE - FUCK - NEXT??!!

I'll tell ya what, I'm going to be offended if someone calls me caucasion. Yeah, and I'm also going to be offended if someone calls me WHITE. It boils down to this, "I'm going to be offended by whatever it is I think suits me best at the time".

P.C. run amuk, and the idiots that listen to and abide by it. Sickening.

Is this your passive agressive way of calling me an idiot that sickens you? Or am I just reading too much into things... :gross2:

Wow --- I'd be curious to know where you are. The 0.0000002 percent of schools that are "conservative" usually find students there by choice. The rest are little incubators for reds, from pre-school on up to grad school.
