The nomenclature and brand is too old. There's no need to change it.
No one has to tell you. You already know what you should and shouldn't say unless you live under a rock.
Coloured is gonna get you nothing but headaches. What Oriental will get you is unknown to me, and that's between you and Asians to work out. But from what i know, it's not acceptable.
You already know "what's with that?"
I guess we must both live under a rock.........you had no clue what transpired with Vietnam vets........I had no clue negro was unacceptable...........negro is just the name of a race... same as caucasion

That's right! I guess we should be offended when we are referred to as Caucasian. LOL!

What about freedom of speech? What do you mean by "you should and shouldn't say"? The first amendment tells me I can say whatever I want.
Amendment I: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
OP, Oriental to Asians is what Negro is to African-Americans. You wouldn't refer to African-Americans as Negroes, would you?
My grandmother did. I say black, unless someone really pisses me off. Most black americans are about as African as I am. Either you're an American or you're not. If you're not, go home.
And I don't see the big issue with oriental vs asian.

Might want to inform those Spanish speaking folks (and the publishers of books geared to teach school-aged children Spanish) that "negro" is not an acceptable word to use for the color black - in translation.
Su camera no es negro, su camera es blanco. Su camera es privilegio.

You've never called a black man in your life a negro to his face. You can play these internet games if you want to, but i know and YOU know what's acceptable and we both know what you will and won't say unless you're extremely sure of your company (meaning that i have no doubt that you use all kinds of racist language when you're around like minded people).
Don't front.

I have nothing to say about your freedom of speech. That's your business.

BLM movement at a quick glance looks like "BoweL Movement".
You're not hurting my feelings. I don't belong to the BLM movement.
Try someone else who cares.

I'm from Arizona. Ask someone else.
