I miss the days when people from China and Japan were called Orientals
and not Asians... a great deal, and probably more than half, of
Americans don't know that Asia covers many many counties and not just
those with the common physical features of the Chinese, Japanese,
Korean, Vietnamese... ect. Of course those were also the days where we
had American Indians and just Indians and when someone would say
Indian I'd have to ask them which kind.

All this politically correctness here is pissing me off. And since
when did every person with dark brown skin become African American?
Did Jamaica and Haiti fall off the map? Personally if I were from
Haiti and someone called me an African American I'd be insulted.
