Seth Rogen corrects journalist on the use of “Oriental”

Thought this may be an interesting tidbit. As I covered the press junket for Seth Rogen’s new film "Observe & Report" a journalist made a comment "Those two Oriental guys are I riot. I mean was it their first film." Rogen jumps in, "I don’t think the term Oriental exists." Rogen laughs it off. I chime in and say, "Oriental is for rugs". Then the journalist says, "Let’s just call them the two twins."

Glad to see that Rogen knows that Asians aren’t referred to as "Oriental".
