2) Pollution(as previously mentioned - but on a biblical scale to help Asians "catch up")
3) Deep-frying whatever and calling it something else.
Those are just off the top of my head...

Yeah, but now "Oriental" is offensive. So you hafta say "Asian from not India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc."

It's an interesting one. MRSDWK is a pretty classic Orientalist, as described by Edward Said, except for the fact that Said's Orient was what is now called the Middle East. The criticism applies, but the geography has reoriented. An Orientalist for a different Orient.
I generally hear "Chinese" as a catch-all term here.

As a half-asian myself I can confirm this. I've met a lot of people who would refer to me as "that chinese guy", despite the fact that I'm clearly not. For some reason it is the common nominal of generalization where I live
