given its location being in Mississauga, I don't think there is a huge Oriental population market for this to attract from.... if this was in Scarborough/Markham that may be a different story
'Chinese' is in fact the preferred term for those coming from China, and you do not need to apologize for it. If you are looking for a term to replace 'Oriental' when referring to people from many countries in that area, use 'Asian'.

So what's Southeast Asian?
Except when one says "Asian" it can include people from anywhere in Asia (which is home to many different peoples)...
Good point. People forget that a good part of Russia is in Asia as well. Europe is less a continent and more like a peninsula of Asia.
Neighbour Ariel Fortuno agreed. "I'm glad my family was not there because I have a baby."
In general, people are idiots.What does that mean? Why do people say things like that? I understand that babies are completely dependent, but still, had Ariel not had a baby would she have said "Too bad we weren't there to be impaled by falling scaffolding as I don't have a baby." No she wouldn't. Or wait a minute, maybe she would, because it's pretty equally stupid.
