Yes, it was informative.  The Orient is East and Southeast Asia, thus making people from that region Orientals.

When referring to Asians, it is a much broader connotation that is implied.  The person in question could be Russian, Indian, Ukrainian, Mongolian, or any number of cultures.  Like I said previously, it's just as wrong as labeling all Black people "African American", as they could be from Jamaica, Trinidad, any South American Nation, or a whole host of places.  Labeling people based on their appearance is just, wrong..

Well, my friend, labeling has many pitfalls .....
