Is what Westerners call "logic/logical" a matter of cultural perspective?

I apologize if anyone took offense. IIRC it wasn’t considered offensive when I learned English and, frankly, I’m at a loss to understand why it’s considered offensive today. It’s a good generic word which can embrace West Asians of, well, Oriental culture in a way that “East Asian” or “Asian” does not.

I don’t really understand why it’s offensive either (though that would be more true of “the Orient” than “Oriental” as a noun), but it’s pretty well established that it is. So you shouldn’t use it no matter when you grew up.
