Thanks Charley.

I found that website and that article with the help of the Google search engine.

Btw, though I believe that we should pray, in your last post I think the word you meant was prey.

Those are words have entirely different meanings, wouldn't you say?

And speaking of words, with regard to group names, in my opinion, the preferences of the group should be most important in determining which group referent others should use.

With regard to the referents "Asian" or "Oriental", there seems to be little doubt that while specific nationalities within that group refer to themselves by their nationality {i.e. Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Pakistani etc}, the catch-all group name that is preferred by most people who belong to that diverse racial group is
"Asian American".
