>oriental

>>4759151
Far-eastern?
Chinese-Korean-Japanese?
Gook?

>>4759151
Yes, as 'in from the orient'.

I really love thai curry myself. Braised pork belly is awesome. Those southeast asian dishes that use a whole grilled fish are always good. A little salad of sorts with coconut, citrus, various vegetables, hot peppers, and cilantro. Mmmmm.

Also, Kimchi > Sauerkraut. The korean stews oriented around it just complete my life.

>the orient

>>4759151
>>4759158
you just can't call people orientals

The word oriental means eastern, which was used in a time when Europe was the main superpower of the world. Oriental is offensive because it categorizes people based on their relation to the Brits who colonized them.

>>4759147
Thats like saying you want to learn how to cook European cuisine. Try starting with one country or region instead.

>>4759178
>offensive
Grow up.

PS. Words change meaning with time.

>>4759182
You're a fag.

PS. Fag changes meaning with time.

Go away gwai lo

You destroy chink cuisine

I've seen what your people do

Putting celery in noodle soup, putting pizza ingredients in dumpring and the worst THE WORST

Grilling tofu until its dry

VERY SHAFRUR DISPRAY

>>4759184
>Butthurt liberal detected
Growing up means that you dont throw a hissy-fit every single time someone says a word that you find offensive.

>>4759182
>>4759184
Idk guys I'm Yurop and everything east from Greece is Orient.
Everything west from Portugal is Occident.

>>4759178
The orient invokes images of a colorful and exotic world awaiting on the horizon, rather than a bunch of impoverished thin-skinned pedophiles trying to kill their neighboring countries due to unending hatred. I was trying to be nice, but if you feel bad about being the loser or just another liberal rather ironically tying themselves to someone else's cross, DO FUCK OFF.

>>4759194
So you call Americans Occidentals?

>>4759206
You can call Westernes Occidentals if you want.

>>4759147
Buy a cookbook. For Chinese cuisine you could try this one:

So, being a liberal means speaking intelligently and with specificity? Sign me up!

>>4759223
More like getting needlessly offended for nothing and acting like a child.

>>4759229
Point out who is acting like a child and why.

Calling Asia "the Orient" is like calling America "the New World"
It's 2013

>>4759229

I would contend (and many would agree) that the only person actually offended and acting childishly is you.

>>4759231

Examples:
>4759178
>4759176

Why?: these people are getting upset over the use of a word when there is no malice behind it.

>>4759239

They posted calm, well-written ripostes without resorting to name-calling (like you) or getting even the slightest bit upset (like you).

>>4759239

>>4759178 never claimed to be offended, just that it's an offensive term and he explained historical reasons why.

>>4759231
He/she/it got offended and butthurt because someone used a word that they didnt like and also pointed out that words can change meaning with time.

>>4759238
>Im losing and to save face I will try to make him seem like one who is butthurt
Hurr durr.

>>4759242
>Still trying to save face

>>4759223
Liberal can be an insult in America. Many of us are aware of the difference between political liberals and social versus financial liberals, but it's becoming synonymous with the wealthy riding high horses trying to champion the poor or oppressed, while hiding an eager dagger not well hidden behind their back.

>>4759147
I entered this thread hoping I'd find something interesting to start.

Why /pol/

>>4759242

Perhaps you're mistaking me for someone else in the thread? I've only made one post thus far: 4759239--and this one of course.

I simply saw the question posed and I posted the obvious answer: it's childish to be offended by someone using a word that you don't like. It's likewise childish to consider words offensive. They're just words. They aren't anything to get upset over.

>>4759262
I'm feeling a little like fuck everyone today. If you could be more specific, I could possibly provide dishes and recipes. Asia is a big place, apparently with a lot of people treating them like fucking toddlers. But yeah, if there's something you like be specific and maybe I can help even through this assmad horseshit.

You know what I find most hilarious about people who still use the word "oriental"? They lack the mental fitness and power of speech to ever pronounce the T. It's always pronounced "oriennal", like, "hey, you one a them oriennals?"

There truly is no hope for them, beyond the eventual promise of the grave, and that their children might possess a little more savvy than they.

>>4759280
This is not bingo...

>>4759280
Are you trolling? You must be, or you are one the most stereotypical liberals in existance.

>>4759286

>if i post this image people will think i'm smart without actually having to argue anything or adopt a position!

I don't know what's the problem.
Orient means East.
Why is this a problem?
Forgive me, I'm slavic as fuck so I don't understand.

>>4759296
>Im too much of mental midget to see the fallacies in the above post.

>>4759302
>the fallacy fallacy

>>4759302

>accuses me of ad hominem
>uses ad hominem

>>4759296
Fuck the image, you manage to cover several logical fallacies with your post. If you happen to be the same anon, you've got nearly everyone one covered already. There's no point even arguing with you. You don't have an argument.

>>4759296
You're implying something he did not. You're making a fool of yourself.

>>4759298
Nothing. People are seeing connotations in words alone, even though the nature of the sentences that contained those words didn't have malicious intentions at all.

>>4759308
>accuses me of ad hominem
You should try again, maybe you will succeed this time.

>>4759306
You could try looking at the pic again and see where you went wrong.

>>4759306
Only applies when the person raises legitimate arguments in spite of using logical fallacies.

>>4759308
You realize that, by accusing him of ad hominem, you're basically stating that his calling you a mental midget is correct, right? You do realize that ad hominem only applies when the person raises a legitimate, correct, but misleading point about another person in order to discredit their argument, right?
