- “在美国，如果人家说你是oriental，这是一种冒犯的说法，相当于喊黑人negro!”
同意!"oriental"被正式例为offensive词大约在12-13年前吧,记得当时还和二位台湾朋友议论过,说咱自己并没意识到被冒犯了,不过从此之后便注意这个词了.

- 用negro一词不算侮辱，侮辱黑人的是Nigger一词(注意是两个g，niger又没事了），绝对不能讲。negro一词在 Martin Luther King, Jr. 1963年的“I Have a Dream”中就用来描述自己这个种族--一共用了15处！就连2010年的美国人口统计也有Negro一档：

- Nothing wrong with Oriental or Chinaman - most important thing is how you behave in front of other people. We call European whiteman, round eye man, white ghost all the time, but they behave like gentleman.

- there are quite a few english words that are derogative due to history. i am kinda surprised that 老地雷 did not know it before?! (I thought 老地雷-you are a 老US and should know it long time ago :-).
九畹: 在美国，如果人家说你是oriental，这是一种冒犯的说法，相当于喊黑人negro!”～俺家先生说这样解释是不正确的。他举了好多Orient express，North west Orient ai ...
one story: in 2002, Yu Minghong went to Princeton Univ to deliver a public speech. A student asked him whether he knew oriental is a derogative word. Yu answered, "I don't know". Yu was an English professor (lecturer?) in Beijing Univ (Beida) before he founded New Oriental school.
that said, after some many years, some derogative words such as oriental and nigero are not that strong. however, the rule is (my american colleague told me):
you can use them to call yourself but you should not use them to call others.
for example, if you are black, you can say, "we nigeros ... ", but if you are not black, you should not use "nigeros" to refer to african american people.

- 你不觉得这个裸体比那个老豆的裸体美多了吗？这是咱查字典的时候字典里带的，绝对挺美，就上传了，我很欣赏这幅画的。
九畹: 妈呀，光顾的看你的文再和他讨论了，都没来得及看图片～那屁股巨大无比，也太丰满了吧，有些不太真实。不过艺术嘛，好啦，欣赏了。还好他已经睡着了，不然看了睡 ...

- 哈哈，歌唱家又给我们上了一课，谢谢给我的留言部分添砖加瓦，增色不少！这个片片我觉得比老豆的那个美吧？哈哈，老豆看到要打我了。
meistersinger: 嘿嘿稀饭底下那Oriental 。
Oriental 可以当形容词,不好当名词。
60年代民权运动时,少数民族把以前白人对他们的称呼一概认为侮辱。黑人自称Aferican-A ...
