Not at all, I actually agree with you that they run too many of these things, and most of the girls aren't anything to look at anyway. But, then, I do click on them, so I don't criticize it. It passes time when you need a distraction. If they had pictures of cats, or fish, I'd click on them too.

People who are vulgar and ugly like that, have weird fantasies. That's why I think you're gay. There's something weird in your thinking process towards females, as if you want to prove they aren't really good. Gay.

But, also, why would you criticize it when you clicked on it to look at it. Should we send the police to where you are? Is someone pointing a gun at your head saying he wants to see Oriental women in an electronic backdrop?

You shouldn't call them 'Oriental'. It's more proper to call them Asian especially when referring to their race or even better Chinese in this case.

Chinese may imply that Taiwan is part of china, which is a sensitive issue, Taiwanese I find is more appropriate, as i write this from seeing computex this year. 😀

Oriental is the better description. Armenians are from Asia, and look nothing like Orientals. They look Mediterranean. How about Israelis? Do they look Oriental? How about Russians in the Asian section? How about Indians?

They are from the Orient, they are Oriental. If you choose to use vague and non-descriptive terms like Asian, which can mean many things, go ahead. Why you think Asian is better is beyond me, but probably you're just a follower and can't think for yourself.
 
Oriental is a western term derived by the Greeks which means east. It is not a term Chinese, Korean, Japanese or Indians use to describe them selves. To them it's derogatory. Like calling an African American "colored". It's not PC or proper etiquette. So to TA152H time for a lesson in proper manors, if you ever find yourself in Asia don't call the people you meet Orientals. But I have a feeling you've never been out of the little podunk town you call home.

What? I'm sure he simply meant that she's listens to a lot of Jimi Hendrix in her off time.

Having found myself in Asia for 3 years, I found that overall, if you're referring to a specific 'type', such as the Chinese, or Japanese, or Mongolian, or Cambodian, etc... etc... they prefer to be called what they are, and find being lumped together with everyone as Asians OR Orientals offensive. But, as many times conversation requires, they didn't really care either way. That's a nice encyclopedic entry, but I've never come across anyone who thought 'Oriental' was offensive. Though some did not like the Ramen flavour, they preferred chicken.

Which must mean you are right, rather than thinking they would rather be polite in front of the nice white man instead of calling them a racist bastard to their face, because you really know whether they actually care or not.
