oriental

Adjective meaning "east"

Comes from the Latin, "Oriens" = east.

Anything east of Europe is Oriental in the Euro-centric mind. That's why Oriental Rugs come from the Persia, not China.

Oriental is associated with European colonialism in China. Especially a British image of China as once great race, but declined and vulnerable to colonization and subjugation. Negro, Coon, and Mic share similar connotations.

Orient

A large city south of the states capital, Columbus, Ohio. This area is inhabited by unusually wealthy people that do not have real jobs. The city is very diverse, people in all shades of white. 1988 chevy camaros and jacked up trucks cruise the streets, every girl between the ages of 16 and 21 is pregnant or a proud mother of a couple kids. Beer flows like water and every person rocks a cut off tee or a jesus piece. Each citizen owns 7 or 8 cars most of which can start and even be driven.
