Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition. On this Thursday, about six months ago, I offered to take my son anywhere in the world for his college graduation gift.

I was hoping he would pick Tahiti or some South Seas Island. Instead he came back with North Asia. That's what happens when you major in political science. So we are off to Japan, South Korea, and China, where I've been invited to do an event based on my book, The United States of Trump. It's a speech then Q&A with government officials and Chinese media in Beijing. Please pray for me. One word I cannot say is Orient.

That's banished officially in the USA and also most Asian nations. But why? The original Orient description came from the Romans. Orens means east of Rome. Then Chaucer used the word Orient in the Canterbury Tales, so far harmless. Enter the hideous newspaper baron William Randolph Hurst. In 1909, one of his papers headlined Oriental Contamination. Hurst himself is quoted as saying, I'm strongly in favor of Japanese exclusion to prevent

Orientals from swarming into the country and absolutely overrunning it." Unquote. Nice. That was it for Oriental. 2016, President Obama signed H.R. 4328, highlighting Oriental as a racist term. Yes, it's woke, but there is valid context. So it is North Asia for us. We definitely live in a complicated world.
