Like I always see it as an acceptable term for 'objects' not a 'person'?

Yes, exactly. Once someone used the word "Oriental" incorrectly around one of my sisters (who is Vietnamese), and she got MAD!!! She was like "DO I LOOK LIKE A RUG TO YOU?" I was trying not to crack up, because she was doing the whole head bobbing/weaving thing (like the "Oh, NO you didn't!" head bob/weave thing) when she was saying it.
