[quote=Anonymous][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, [b]not derisively.[/b] 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, [b]I don't think correcting him would have broken his habits[/b]. [/quote] The usage is derisive, do you understand, it is derisive. If no one is referring to you in that manner, then you do not get to make that call. SHEESH -- this is tiring. The goal may not be to change the person, it is to POINT OUT WHAT IS WRONG. SMDH!!![/quote]
