I don't know what's going on and I laughed pretty hard so I double tapped the screen and passed out.

I may have to start watching this.
theresareasonforeverything
Got to 3rd ep, couldn't handle the whole musical thing anymore. Never looked back. Too bad, as an oriental I would've enjoyed it I think
plouffi
Some of the songs are bad but some of them are pretty funny and unexpected. I loved the irish song about alcoholism.
nasquatch
If you don't like the songs, I think it'd get grating pretty quick.
CoolioBeanios
Isnt calling somone oriental like calling somone european exept they are of oriental decent not european?
AgamemnonsMemes
Things are oriental, people are not. Its an outdated word used by people who sailed around naming things that already had names.
SirusKing
No, oriental literally just means "the east". It is still used in the UK.
CoolioBeanios
So, thats the name in our language, if the native populous has its own name in its own langauge the good for them. We gonna say calling 1/2
CoolioBeanios
2/2 somone German or Greek is offencive too? People need to get a grip, its the english language and thats the word we have.
morphire
Actually the word we have is 'Asian'. Or 'East-Asian', if you want to be specific. "Oriental" is a word with a lot of baggage and history.
CoolioBeanios
Oriental is a lot more specific to china, japan and the Koreas, eas asian could be anywhere between china and indonesia really.

Thanks! Got the whole family together to watch Boku no Pico. Strange how characters look different but must be character development.

thefinaldegree
Literally in the post description.
potus50
I'm stupid I'm sorry
stub20000
But the show isn't called father brah, I googled it and it's called crazy ex-girlfriend.
thefinaldegree
Description, not the title. The show name is under all the images
stub20000
Ah, fair enough, didn't see that on mobile
wlfman
the premise seems a little off-putting
roitan
I feel it's pretty nuanced.
chefillini
I think it suffers from the title. I know I avoided it for a bit because of the name.
wlfman
I haven't seen a single trailer or preview of the show/episode that has changed that perception...if it was Crazy Ex-Boyfriend...shitstorm
sammyismycat
I think them breaking into song and dance every other scene is what it suffers from. But I like it otherwise.
ShartShrapnel
Me too! And also because the thumbnail on Netflix looks dumb.
BeezusFafoon
What's wrong with the word oriental?
ArchAngelSamael
Nothing. People are just overly sensitive pussies now. I'm Jewish and idgaf when someone calls me a Jew.
CeilingOctopus
My wife is Chinese and she uses Oriental... literally never heard of this, neither of us have.
TchallaVII
I'm in Asia right now. And I see occidental everywhere.
thisnameisntfunny
Things are Oriental, not people.
SirusKing
Not everywhere. In the UK we still occasionally use it.
KloDar
Food and rugs are oriental. Apparently, people aren't.
SirusKing
Huh? That isn't quite true.
Buckbeak1486
Which is dumb... Because I think that word sounds awesome and exotic!
DetSgtSillyBilly
It is not necessarily majorly offensive, but it's outmoded. Like calling people Chinamen, or referring to "colored folk." Old peeps do it.
gibsojac000
But it's their term? They're oriental and we're oxidental
DetSgtSillyBilly
Whose term? You're saying "Orient" comes from... Orientals? Surely you are disoriented.
reverendmoss
That guy needs reorientation
DetSgtSillyBilly
Maybe he just mixed up his phrasing. You know, not on purpose, but by occident.
arthurherkiknowthemayor
Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature.
abcEasyAs123
What if your like a surfer and some asks where Hong Kong is.
skschneier
My grandma had an old beat up suitcase my mom wanted her to throw out. She wanted to donate it bc "the darkies would love this!"
rezpawner
"Colored folk" is just wrong. It's "coloured folk".
DetSgtSillyBilly
Redcoats. Next you'll be telling us to nix the "s" in "backwards," or put e's and o's in "Airplane." Madness.
rezpawner
Okay, you can have "airplane", but at the very least, you have to change your "math" to "maths". Meet us half-way here.
DetSgtSillyBilly
But we forgot about all the other maths, we just have one in our country now.
dreadpiratekhan
It's like the word Negro. Was acceptable once, no longer is.
IThinkYouGotAFineBrainJack
Oh, like "republican".
TheDouche
That means black, and is more accurate in more cases than African American, as the person may be neither of those.
DorthLous
Only in the US, btw. Had this whole discussion when working on a game. US can't understand it's not offensive in Canada, UK or France.
rezpawner
Eh, Negro is still borderline acceptable. It's the other version that'll get the shit beaten out of you.
DorthLous
It's not anywhere near Negro. It's very much like Black. A proper, descriptive term anywhere but the US.
TchallaVII
Negro was the proper descriptive term everywhere till the US changed it
zorrofuerte
A lot of people use black in the US. Including those that are black.
BeezusFafoon
Its fine in the UK, just means from the east, most Chinese restaurants have the word in their name.
DetSgtSillyBilly
I am shocked, shocked and appalled, to hear the Chinese Restaurants in the UK almost all incorporate the word 'negro' in their name.
NobodyCanEnjoyNiceThings
Oriental is only used for the Express, Food, and Rugs.
BeezusFafoon
You guys do you, but i don't see the point in demonising a valid and useful word unnecessarily.
abundantbadgers
Eh, it's like calling white people just "whites." Sure its not necessarily wrong, but after a while people will get upset.
NobodyCanEnjoyNiceThings
It's like calling a Scot or Northern Irish "English". Yeah they are under the UK...but they aren't happy about it sometimes.
shitduke
if someone calls you oriental you call them occidental. It is just old words for east and west.
OrdoXenosAgent
Grandpa called a guy a chinamen once. Not his face thank god.
Condiment
"Oriental" is fairly common in the UK as denoting East or South-East Asians: China, Japan, Vietnam, etc.
Condiment
Whilst the US uses "Asian" for those places, in the UK "Asian" tend to be more Southern Asia: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh.
EdiciusMaximus
is it? I've heard Asian used to refer to Pacific Asian people and "South Asian" for the south
SubZole
And what do you do if your parents called you accidental?
Kwaj
I once worked with a guy who was told by his father "You weren't an accident - you were a mistake."
dreadpiratekhan
Brutal
shutterstockharold
I think Oriental usually refers to objects, like carpets or vases
ThePerfectGif
Or food, yes. Oriental = style of thing, Asian = People from that sector of the world.
DopeChicken
Thank you so much!
ThePerfectGif
No prob, DrugPoultry. I was born over there, and had to get it right from a young age. :)
sammyismycat
My parents say "Oriental" still. I"m like hey, it's not 1960 anymore. Get a grip! Mom says "oh sorry, "AAAASIAN""
MantisTobagganMD
It's Eurocentric, so people take it as offensive
shitduke
why?
MantisTobagganMD
Why is it Eurocentric or why woukd people be offended?
delecti
How is it Eurocentric? Old maps used to have east at the top, so they were "oriented" eastward.
MantisTobagganMD
You have the etymology backwards. Orient comes from the Old French orient ("east)from Latin orientem (nominative oriens) "the rising sun [1]
MantisTobagganMD
"to take one's bearings," literally "to face the east". So to call Asia The Orient, being east of Europe, puts Europe as the focal point [3]
MantisTobagganMD
the east, part of the sky where the sun rises," originally "rising". The verb form, to arrange facing east," from French s'orienter [2]
