Re: Why are Orientals yellow?
The term "Oriental" was frequently used to describe Asia in general. The Middle East is considered a part of Asia.
"Orientalism" referred to the study and depiction of Asia in works of science or art. Most forms of Orientalism focused on the Middle East.
Now, when most people think of the term "Oriental", they think of East Asians, as opposed to we Southwest Asians.
I fail to see any racism behind my post, but I apologize if it offended you in some way.
