Oriental

My mom lives in a town called Oriental here in NC. Sam and I spent a few days visiting recently and decided to get David a souvenir since he was in Chicago on business. I didn't think he would actually wear it - even though I searched for one that I thought he would find the least fashionably offensive.
Boy was I surprised when he started wearing this out in public. whew!

And for those of you who weren't aware, describing someone of Asian descent as 'oriental' is actually viewed as impolite and rude.
