That word was always specifically meant as an insult and the culture was very different back then. I really don't think it is a fair comparison. Retard is on the way out, oriental is neither on the way out or used with racist intentions.

I've just always heard oriental vs occidental. I almost never hear oriental itself as a term of hate. I wonder what you think of the term "Asiatic" because that always felt like a slur to me when I read old books.

While it certainly is interesting it isn't really what I'm looking for.

That's a strange way of promoting your story. I'll give it a read.

Hello people of CYS. I've lurked around and read many of the stories on here, but I thought it was time to say hi to the forums. I would love any game recommendations for some of the more obscure games (I've played most of the featured ones). Anyway salutations!
