oriental is a term used to describe items, not people, of Asian origin.

basicly oriental is like the term "negro" for black people. its not a necessarily bad term but it is definately outdated.

Asians dont like it because the term makes them seem less than human.

Its negative in the same way "n_gro" can be negative.  Both are old terms used a lot by the old fashioned, ignorant people.
