A term like "Oriental" refers to racial characteristics rather than nationalities, and is therefore a valid term if one is referring to the racial characteristics of people from the Far East. This may be why it's no longer considered an acceptable term, even among so-called "Asians" who come from the Far East. The concept of race itself has become virtually a taboo subject.
