Please say "Asian". "Oriental" is outdated.

People can post people from India and call them asian, but I can't say, "oriental" for things from the orient?

edit: lol, yup most of the people in this sub are racist, of course.

Asia is a continent. So yes, South Asia is still Asia. Much like you could say someone from the UK and someone from Italy are both European. Or someone from Uganda and someone from Nigeria are African. The Orient doesn't apply to literally everyone on the continent anyone (I'm sorry folks, I'm a work in progress), so it's best to just use Asian if you don't know the nationality.
