Well, get this........around Fayetteville, NC there's an old oriental lady that
drives one of those Pontiac Firehawks. One day I pulled up next to it with my
dad's scrawny 92 Dakota pick up so I could get a better look when I saw her
behind the wheel with her hands at the 10 and 2 o'clock positions on the wheel.
Light turned green and the old lady took off almost as if she were drag racing
with somebody. I was surely impressed.

Why do you find it derogatory?
It's been around since the 1300s and simply comes from the Latin term
for "rises". It was used to indicate the direction "east" so it meant
anything east of explored areas back then. The term is, and has been,
used by scholars in Asia for many, many years as well.

Not to be argumentative... [1]
But you've nothing to be offended about, especially if "Asian" is fine
with you.
The area of the world now known collectively as "Asia" was for some time
previously known as "the orient". By the same token that you may be
referred to as "Asian" if you are from "Asia", the label "oriental" is
similarly descriptive. A bit anachronistic, yes, but pejorative? Not a
bit.

The term "Riceboy" was derived from "RiceRockets", similar to
PockeRockets (ie. VW GTI, etc). But the use of the word "rice" was
meant to depict the rivalry between the Japanese vs. American cars in
a racially insulting manner....way, way, way back during the days of
the Bulletin Board connections and Fidonet conferences, etc...
You can try to alter the meaning, but the true intentions were meant
to call Japanese cars, ChinkMobiles and the sort.
Consensus shows that racially motivated terms and slangs do not really
change, ie. like when a white person defends the usage of the term
"NIGGER" as a defining term for "any bad person" inclusive of Blacks
but not conclusive.
Asians usually don't care too much if you call them Chinks, but what's
funny is that you've gotten some Asians to share in the similar usage
of the term "Riceboy" also.

I thought the term "Rice-boy" (driver of Japanese car) came from "Rice burners"
(the cars made in Japan). This term has been around since I was in high school
in the early 80's.

Well, I'm only half Asian, but I don't think most Asians would appreciate being
called "Chink" unless you were their friend and they understood the light
heartedness of the term. It's definitely offensive sounding if it's not coming
from a friend. I'm sure it's the same with African Americans and the use of
the word "Nigger". The word "Oriental" is not durogatory at all. A complete
stranger could refer to me as oriental, and it would not phase me a bit.
I have a buddy that is 2nd generation Irish. He always kids me that I know so
much about gardening, and I kid him that he's always looking for a fight. You
know, just making fun of the stereotypes. Anyway, this is my .02 on Mustangs

I'm really bad with the PC myself. I have a hard time saying African-American,
because there are some African-Americans that are caucasion (or white??). They
were born in Africa... now they're American... to me that'd be AA. Right???
Then there are those not from Africa, yet still have black skin. Couldn't they
be just as offended by calling them African-American? What about calling a
Canadian a North American? It just gets too confusing.
I remember trying to tell someone who my friend Eric was. I did everything to
describe him w/o saying that he was black... once I said black, they knew
exactly who I was talking about.
Now, take the aformentioned white African American. Try telling someone about
him saying that he's AA, .... and the rest of whatever description. I
guarantee they'll be thinking of someone with black skin.
Now... on to discussing red hair.. which is more orange...

Think about.
If there was a car made in Africa that became popular, would a driver
of said car be labelled a Negro-Boy? How about a NegroBurner? LOL.
What if Saudi Arabia produced a popular automobile. Would the drivers
now be labeled, Camel-Boys? Camel-Burners? Camel-Jockeys?
What's the easiest way to cut on an Asian in grade school?
His slanted eyes, his bowl haircut, his
dropping-silverware-down-the-stairs name.....what he eats most of.
Therefore, "Riceboy" is a lesser offensive term as opposed to
"Chinkboy" just like Negro is a little less offensive then Nigger.
But a Black guy would probably take up issue with you if you called
him a Negro-Boy or even if you called a white guy driving an imaginary
African made vehicle, Negro-Boy. How about if two white guys referring
to each other as Niggers during a conversation while in a crowded
street in Harlem?
While I guess it's ok here to use the term Riceboy.

Yeah, the word "Oriental" is valid. Some people might get offended,
but there are some that get offended by everything and anything.
I wouldn't call a Black guy "African American" unless he specifically
asks me to, as it's way too damn long. And I would just make a mental
note to refer to him only as that or maybe while talking only to him.
Can't please them all.
But my point was that it's funny that the Asian guy gets offended at
being called Oriental but sees nothing wrong with hearing the term
Riceboy.
What if rice crops started to significantly compete with the all
American wheat crops? RiceEaters then? Riceman? LOL.

A white person might defend that term but the black man who it was said to
ain't gonna hear it! I got into trouble with one of them over my finace'
because he called her black and I said "no, she is West Indian" and he insisted
Jamacians are black people and I insisted that they are not and he insisted I
was racist because I didn't want to "admit to being married to a black woman"
and I said I would admit to it if it was true but it ain't!

Others...
back to the eighties...
Rice rocket - bad-ass motorcycles that hauled ass...started with the Honda
Interceptor early 80s (my memory fades here - I was in college...)
Rice burner - import car from japan - somewhat derogitory but also indicates
gas mileage (superior to American cars of the day - again eighties)
Rice boy - definition batted around ad-nausium but basically one who
"stickers up" and optionally lowers the suspension of .an import car to give
the impression of increased performance - then typically talks trash to
those with more legitimate "performance vehicles" - some ad a person's race
into the definition, others do not.

PC is why people cart their 8 children around in SUVs getting 12mpg,
turning their noses up at performance cars because they are

How is oriental derogatory? It's not a native term, but I've never
heard it used as an insult. Does that mean oriental rugs and
restuarants (even if they are run by Asians) that say "Oriental
Cuisine" on the sign are insults? "The Orient" was a term used by
explorers and traders, who were European, wasn't it? I guess I'm
missing something..
"Chink", "nip", etc are racial epiphets that are used for nothing but
insults based on race. I've never once heard of or heard "oriental"
used as a derogatory term.
Is the Oriental Express a racist train?

say it's a sign of being somewhat less enlightened or parochial - much
like calling a black or African-American "Negro" or "Colored"
"Asian" is more neutral sounding while "Oriental" tends to conjure

Negro (Spanish for black) was at one time preferred by black people who were
tired of being called "colored" people. In the early 1960's you called black
people "Negroes" as a sign that you respected them. You never called them black
because it was taboo back then. But nigger has never been an acceptable term
for anybody to use in any situation.

It seems that if you live in a Nation where the majority or the ruling
party is of one color, any color that is other than that of this race
is considered not of that race.
Say a 1/4 White and 3/4 Chinese person living in China would be
considered as more of a Caucasian than Asian.

>>ancestors of African Americans. A lot of African Americans have

Technically you are right but I just sort of got pissed off that somebody was
trying to lump my wife (29 more days) in with regular African American women.
Not that I dislike them or anything and yes, you cannot tell her from an
African American unless you look closely or hear her accent, but I feel that
she is special because of what she is. and when most people hear "black" they
automatically think "African American".

Obvious point. However if, as in this case, black refers to those with
predominantly African ancestors why wouldn't West Indians be included?

Probably because from a first glance, a darker complexion person with
African features would probably be labeled as Black. A second glance
or conversation might further be distinguished through language
accent, etc.
Most Vietnamese, Koreans, Japanese, etc...are often referred to as
Chinese by most non Asians, LOL, kind of funny.
This is from first impressions only.
