[quote=Anonymous]My grandpa, born in the late 20s, who passed a few years ago did still use the terms oriental and colored. It was cringey, of course, but he truly only used them conversationally, not derisively. It was clearly just his carried over habit of how to describe an Asian or person of color. And he didn't do it publicly. He was actually quite progressive/liberal for his age and geographic location. So, while we didn't love the terms, I don't think correcting him would have broken his habits. [/quote]
