Hey!
My friend is a huge middle-east fan and asked me if I could make him a cd of music with middle-eastern influences. Feel free to give some names (from 60s/70s).
Thanks in advance,

In case you missed it...
It is considered rude to use Oriental to refer to people or cultures.
Wow. :face_melt:
Over here it has no negative connotation at all. Sorry if i hurted the feelings of any middle east strutter.
This must be another cultural difference.
My feelings are fine. It's just out-of-place in 2012 N America, that is why I asked.
Bassie, this is not directed at you, but this is kind of hypocritical political correctness which unsettles foreigners like me.
The US have a lot more skeletons in the closet, they should be more worried about than in an adjective which has for the rest of the world no negative connotation at all. Not even arabs (outside the US) take offence at it.
Understood. To be clear, I am not in the US, nor am I from the US . I think citing political correctness is a cop-out and a distraction. There is a lot to be "worried about" in language, as it shapes how we see, define and feel about the world around us.
I didn't find it offensive, just odd.
My apologies for the derail - I guess I could have asked in a PM.
Let's get back to the music.
edit - I am not trying to shut you down. If you want to take it up in PMs, let's do that.
Read Edward Said. Then rethink your stance.
haha!
He only does political commentary in holographic form.
