I understand and am not judging.What I mean by "Oriental" is China, and nations that learned civilization from China, specifically Korea, Japan, and Vietnam. I do not use the word "Oriental" as a term of derogation, because I prefer Orientals to people of my own race.
“The adjective oriental, which carries strong associations with colonialism and with language that others and exoticizes, is usually considered offensive when used by non-Asian people to describe people of various Asian identities. Its use to describe elements of Asian culture”

The term ‘Oriental’ is outdated, but is it racist?
