Negro and Oriental are not races. They're catch-all terms, of a racist and ignorant era. The white equivelant would be Honky.
Should we all call you a Honky now?

As it's the US it likely doesn't refer to people from India.
Counter-question: Dont you have anything better to be upset about? It's such an irrelevant thing to get this salty about.
One one hand I understand why they remove them. On the other, I think that historical records should remain as they are, so that we don't forget that those were different times.
I applaud the removal of Indian though, cus fuck knows that name is idiotic when it refers to natives.
Oh I complain about it every year, as well as the winter breaks too. We pay them a full time salary and they should be working full time. No other Americans get 5 or more months of vacation time and unlimited sick days and are never held accountable if they are late or dont show up. Same goes for the SCOTUS, they could hear so many more cases if they worked for more than 6 months out of the year

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov

So updating legal documentation is a waste of funds now?
I can understand Negro. It was (and still is) used in a demeaning and abusive manner, but Oriental? Never known that to be an issue. Anyone else confused by that one, or is that just me being ignorant?
Which is especially silly considering the president just signs off on laws. You're mad the US law no longer uses the term oriental and negro? Write your letters to congress. I'm sure it's real important to you and you're not just looking for excuses to fearmonger. (you in the general sense, not zealo)
