@sarahjeong oddly, the Feb 14 1991 edition http://www.catb.org/jargon/oldversions/jarg262.txt … has the word "Asians" there instead
Hey Twitter — can anyone help me date this page in the Jargon File? Just a year. Or even a decade. http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/demographics.html …

@xor I can't -
@sarahjeong@xor it's like he imagined "Asians" meaning people of East Asian descent and wanted to include people from the Middle East too -

@vogon@sarahjeong the Jargon File uses "Oriental" in that way throughout, mostly about food, and includes South Asian (go figure.) -

@sarahjeong@xor (NPOV, the jargon file is not a primary source)

@sarahjeong I.e. "Google Groups" from 1992 is Usenet, archived on DejaNews, bought out by Google and now v-tough to search. But u knew that. -
@sarahjeong Version 2.5.1 in 1991 seems not to have a "gender and ethnicity" heading in the G's in File 6: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/misc.misc/%22The$20Jargon$20File$20v2.5.1%22 …

@sarahjeong The broad brush stereotyping in that section is why I stopped before getting that far, years ago: https://web.archive.org/web/20021014170106/http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/html/Appendix-B.html …Merci. Twitter en tiendra compte pour améliorer votre fil. SupprimerSupprimer
