The term oriental is often used to describe objects and (in a derogative manner) people coming from the Orient/eastern Asia.

The term Oriental may sound dated or even be seen as a pejorative, particularly when used as a noun.[20] John Kuo Wei Tchen, director of the Asian/Pacific/American Studies Program and Institute at New York University, said the basic criticism of the term began in the U.S. during a cultural shift in the 1970s. He has said: “With the U.S.A. anti-war movement in the '60s and early '70s, many Asian Americans identified the term ‘Oriental’ with a Western process of racializing Asians as forever opposite ‘others’”,[21] by making a distinction between “Western” and “Eastern” ancestral origins.

Saying something is from the orient means its from Asia… Calling a person or a group of people like an army oriental is saying they are Asian.

Read your own source… Or just use common sense?

When have you ever heard of a European living in Europe being referred to as oriental?
