No, definitely not offensive to use oriental to describe us when it’s literally the word used in Chinese. These white saviors need to learn lol😂

in english it is dehumanizing. it’s all about the history of the word in the west. it’s commonly used to describe objects

I’m Chinese American and I cringe whenever someone refers me as oriental. In China, oriental seems to mean something much much better.

Don’t worry Americans just really have nothing better to do than pick apart language

It’s all contextual. English isn’t your first language. You’re learning. It’s different in the US calling someone oriental versus in China. :)

like its about context people! if a white man says an Asian woman is an "oriental beauty" that's when we start raising eyebrows

in the united states we have to be very careful what we say because words and perceived meaning are given more priority over intent.
