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 …

@sarahjeong oddly, the Feb 14 1991 edition http://www.catb.org/jargon/oldversions/jarg262.txt … has the word "Asians" there instead

@sarahjeong@xor it's like he imagined "Asians" meaning people of East Asian descent and wanted to include people from the Middle East too -
@sarahjeong@xor so he decided to go for an improvement that made everything like twelve billion times worse -
@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)
