FWIW, rugs are oriental. People are Asain. That's just basic respect.
space-time, if there is anything positive to take away from this thread is this ^^^ It has been brought up multiple times here when the word "orientals" is used. But I guess some people just don't care.
FWIW, this is the first time I've seen this pointed out in the forum. I was trying to describe people with mongoloid traits, but did not want to say "mongoloid" as that's a derogatory term at least in colloquial use (may be technically/anthropologically correct though?). I didn't feel the term Asian would be correct either since there are caucasoid and some negroid groups in Asia.
