Because I just found out today that it's is now an offensive word and should not be said.

In the old days, the orient was a place with exotic and passive women that was the desire of white men.  A place where a white man can go and fulfill his every fantasy.  Oh wait, that's still going on today. lol.

Any word can be offensive... have you not been reading liberal media lately?

A kid was in trouble at his school for saying that brownies are "brown", cotton stalks on displayed at Hobby Lobby is racism, practicing yoga is consider racism if you're not brown/black, etc. etc.
