[QUOTE]Originally posted by nur23_you55ouf: [QB] [QUOTE]It is extremely rare to the point of being anecdotal.[/QUOTE]How so? Provided it is anecdotal, that doesn't negate the fact that it exists as a reference to people of east asian descent(as said above). I even aknoledged the word as being of used rather rarely, however that's probably due to the fact that its an awkward term(not to mention asian despite its broad characteristic seems preferable). With that logic, the term "black" might as well carry the same attitude as a person's race is distinguished via casual observation of skin color. [QUOTE]if you disagree can you provide a list of nations that list 'yellow' as and ethnicity on their census?[/QUOTE]You say that the term yellow is a ridiculous term which has no real merit as a classification scheme, correct? It is absolutely unnecessary for me to provide a census that has the category "yellow" when there are somewhat more reasonable methods of proving its existence as a reference to east asians: Defenition of "yellow" that should be of note: a. designating or pertaining to an Oriental person or Oriental peoples. ^ I am in now way argueing for its legitimacy as as a word worthy of being in a census(not even remotely so). [QUOTE]Also, your substitution of 'oriental' is amusing given that many Asians find that term offensive.[/QUOTE]And? The wording has meaning, which is what counts after all. The word was never created for the intent of being offensive, as opposed to other words. [QUOTE]Your analogy is utterly ridiculous, and you know it. [/QB][/QUOTE]Due to what? Failing to adhere to irrelevent details, that in now way change its [i]essential[/i] purpose? [/QB][/QUOTE]
