I didn't purport that the liberal opinion is abritrary or even baseless. But Wikipedia does not allow for the possibility that many Americans don't agree with the liberal point of view that Oriental or Chinaman are offensive. Wikipedia editted away evidence that supports the traditionalist point of view. Wikipedia portrays the liberal perception of these terms as if they were the only perceptions of this word. Thus this is an example of Wikipedia's liberal bias. [[User:Everwill|Everwill]] 14:38, 5 April 2007 (EDT)

:[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinaman], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriental]. It seems that both POVs are represented. In usage outside those articles, wikipedia errs on the side of the people being offended. What is the nature of your concern? [[User:Myk|Myk]] 14:43, 5 April 2007 (EDT)
