FYI: oriental is offensive. Using location or colour is more appropriate (i.e. Middle Eastern, East Asian, South East Asian, Brown, etc). Also, a proper description doesn't stop at ethnicity, but racists don't care. They'll feel justified by coming to a fishing forum and complaining and spreading the hate.
