To preempt further comment on this, it should be noted that the term “oriental” to refer to people from East Asia is considered by some to be derogatory, at least in the US. (“Oriental” as an adjective to refer to things, such as an oriental rug, is OK.) If you wish to discuss this term and whether or not it should be considered derogatory, please start another thread in GD or IMHO.

I apologise. I had no idea about this and it has no negative connotations that I am aware of on this side of the Atlantic. I am sure that most readers will realise that I was referring to people from the Far East, mainly China and Japan, where much of their music sounds discordant to us Westerners.
