1. Don't refer to them with it.
2 Based on your belief they are wrong not to like it, use it. If they don't like it, it's their problem.

I thought I was clear that I use it geographically. I have more tact than to use it in reference to people, but I have no problem using Occident and Orient in their historic geographical sense. For some reason, "The Orient" brings to mind an entirely different vision than merely using Asia or something more specific.

I guess with your attitude it's fine if I generalize whole classes of people and use negative condensations all over the board in our discription.
Reference words like Niger, Wetbacks, Greaseballs, Waps spicks, chink, jap honky,cracker, orientals, You name it buddy!!! after all we don't want inequality.
Edit, I was just reminded of a few I forgot, Sand Niger, towl-head and of corse camel jockey, Diego, Mick.

Given that your comment, bolded, was posted in response to 427's list of derogatory people labels, and quoted it, no. It wasn't a bit clear that you were only using the terms 'geographically.'

"p-r-e-j-u-d-i-c-e-d"
For crying out loud turn on the spell-check.
And, in this context, it's "they're" not "their".

Eurocentrism is the practice of viewing the world from a European-centered or Western-centered perspective.

Heck, even my cat spells better as he walks on my keyboard. But he cops an attitude when I ask him to use spell check.
