1. willcarrolldoesnotsuk Posted: January 21, 2012 at 06:47 PM (#4042037)Again, though, "Orient is an insult" has somehow got into the popular consciousness (I think it started with a popular book that claimed "Oriental" meant "foreigner"), and I'm totally willing to avoid calling people "Oriental" due to that in and of itself. But that doesn't change the fact that it's wrong.
By far the best summation of Dice K I've seen yet.
Just ask Luis Suarez.
I've always been amused by "Oriental" flavor ramen. Shrimp ramen tastes like shrimp. Chicken ramen tastes like chicken. What the heck is "Oriental" ramen supposed to taste like?
Um, no. Bernie Williams was a rookie in 1991, wearing #51 for the Yankees, and hit .238 in 85 games. Ichiro Suzuki was a rookie in 1992 for the Orix Blue Wave, and wore #51.
There's no significance to Ichiro's number.

Soy sauce.
It's not the taste. It's that it goes through you like the Orient Express.

Who has been the best professional athlete (in an even that would get shown on television in the U.S.) of Persian ancestry? I suppose Andre Agassi could fill that bill.
This is just empirically not true.
