I imagine these same ****wits who are insisting
"Grecian" is correct also still want to call Asians
"Orientals".

Asians *are* orientals you idiot.




Why don't you try running the term "Oriental" by the next few Asians
you
meet and see sort of reaction you get?



Here's a neat link, Doug. The term "Oriental" rates a big, fat ZERO on

the

"disparagement scale" of the "Offensiveness Quotient".

Look at the definition of "oriental" in ANY on-line
dictionary (we know you don't own a printed one). The
definition meaning "Asian person" is ALWAYS indicated
as offensive. Always.


And "Grecian" is always indicated as an adjective *OR* a *NOUN*.

No, it isn't.

It certainly is...at least according to the same "on-line-dictionary" litmus
test you used for the word "oriental".
