You're not wrong, but I'm pretty sure the problem is using "oriental" in 2024 champ

My understanding is that it's fine when it doesn't refer to a person.

Referring to Asia as the "Orient" is just such a reactionary sounding thing. I assume Biden talks about the boy emperor in the Orient

We must refer to the West as the occident

Been playing a lot of Disco Elysium recently and I want to refer to the west as Occidental, but I don't think people would get that if I said it out loud

de-drama [medium: failure]

Ignore them, sire. Language is but a means to an end in the stage of life, and if the audience are philistines who know nothing about obscure references to a small town in Jamrock, they are probably just uncultured losers from La Delta.
