Maybe they should've used 'oriental' because it was obviously aimed at the group of people. I'm asian (not oriental though) and I'm a girl. I didn't find it offensive but I'm not sure if I could comment on it since I'm a girl.
Hmm..the petition is funny too. Because it uses certain words that are aimed towards oriental people. It annoys me when people use asian instead of oriental.
And if there is a name for people from other parts of asia, what is it?

Oriental actually refers to anything in the east - from the middle east to japan. Used by Europeans to denote anything mystical and exotic. Edward Said wrote a very famous book on it

I think they mainly mean people with "slitty-eyes".
