“I’m just saying that if a group of people claim they are offended when being referred to by a certain term, I respect that and won’t refer to them in that manner”

I agree, MM. I prefer to think of us all as simply human beings. (Of course, some of us are more human than others, and some of us are completely alien) 😉
“I suspect oriental is offensive because it was used as a term of denigration here in the US.”
I agree with ditto and jessi on this point.
I was also always taught that Russia (and certainly the former Soviet Union) was a EurAsian nation, i.e., the former Soviet Republics of Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, the Baltic States, and the Russian Republic itself roughly from St. Petersburg and Moscow west were “European Russia”, while the rest of the Russian Republic, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan and the Central Asian Soviet Republics were “Asian Russia”.
