Not sure you're contributing a lot to the conversation there. Probably annoying a bunch of folks in the process. You probably know all that though.

But you're right. We love being called orientals. It's just that warm feeling of being categorised and separated from the occidentals in that lovely nostalgic way the PC guys just don't get.

And the odd thing is that orient = Asia doesn't make sense in an American context...
