What dose orentill mean?
Well in America you aren't supposed to call people Oriental, its like calling someone colored if they are african american. It was just used to describe someone from East Asia. Oriental means rising and since Asia is to the east where the sun rises, that is where the word comes from.
It was used to describe anyone who is Japanese/Korean/Chinese/Indian/Vietnamese. Asian is a better word to use than Oriental.
Oriental can also describe food from Asia.
Oriental? It's a term for people from the Orient.
Random I know but oriental food is divine!
