    Thank you, Carlos Mencia. Asians worldwide can again breathe a sigh of relief knowing that such offensive words are being slowly put out of their misery.

    I imagine they did this on purpose to piss off the Vista piraters.

    That woman is EXACTLY why every player needs a volume limiter function like the iPod.

    It's actually technically correct, but the dictionary does point out some people think it's offensive for some odd reason.

    Wow, people are still using the word oriental to describe Asians? This must be the time warp addition of Appleinsider or the writers need to get out and meet more people. What next? Using the word "colored"?



    Oh Appleinsider - just like the Zune - trying to play with the majors of the industry but still rough around the edges.



    Maybe Appleinsider should . . . you know . . . just stay inside with their commentary and stick to product rumors.

    I wonder what the folks from Asia who are of Indian, Persian, Russian, or Mongolian descent feel about "Asian" being reserved for folks from the southeast Asian peoples.

    Why would you think that? I think there are plenty of people on the legit public beta program that was open to anyone at no cost.

    Asian people don't like to be called oriental. Just like black people don't like to be called colored.



    Both nouns have a historically derogative context.

    Their loss. It's an accurate term, more so than "Asian", as Booga pointed out.

    I bet they say "Damn straight, we have our own like Indian and Persian. Sucks for all the people in southeast asia who are only referred to as Asians."
