Doesn't matter, Kit was right.Us actual Asians don't call each other Orientals because we aren't from the made-up Orient that colonizers refer to us as. We are (east) Asians.
In the UK Asia is used for people from India, Pakistan and that region while China and Japan is referred to as the Orient.
It's outdated but it's not likely to change.
