    I think people call orientals ‘Asian’ because of poltical correctness. When I was a kid everyone of with Mongoloid features was called ‘Chinese.’ As more and more S. E. Asians came to America, plain old white guys like me learned that it was wrong to assume all people with slanty eyes were Chinese. So we use ‘Asian’ so as not to offend. By the way, I’ve also been told ‘Oriental’ is wrong and offensive, but I’m not sure why.
