I always thaught such referred to an animal, probally a specific dragon or specific bird that's seen as sacred.

I can assure you, oriental people don't refer to them selves as Yellow, that's a distinctly western made up term. Considering that the game was made by Japanese, and Kowloon was never occupied by the English, in no way, shape or form, should that supposedly being racist, be a consideration at all.

Oriental people don't refer to themselves as oriental people either.

they refer to them selves as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, ect, but I'm not going to list every damn country in the orient to make the same statement, in order to cover "everyone", so stop being a ass lol.

One is a racist designation, while the other refers to a region that various people originated from, big difference.

Considering the game was made by a Japanese team, I sincerely doubt there are any racist implications in its name either. Connotations perhaps, but not remotely intentional.

An old history teacher of mine used to refer to oriental people as 'yellow', which always sounded really sketchy and quite offensive. Then again, I have absolutely no problem with referring to myself as white, nor black people as black, but using the word 'yellow' to describe the skin colour of an entire race just doesn't sit easy with me. It sounds too direct and comical to be taken seriously and with any sincerity. I dunno - semantics and history, I guess?

It's actually considered offensive, or at least antiquated, here in the US.

Orientalism sounds like a fetish to be quite honest.

on the nvidia shield portable, aside from some visual glitches like ryos eyes are a little iffy and some textures here and there, it ran full speed, i did use one of the ''non stable'' reicast builds, ironically though it runs shenmue better than the current ''stable'' build. The alpha effects like dust in my experience feature a sorta greenish look to it, however it looks better than the null dc build i have on my pc since it there it kinda looks pixely and weird, overall is awesome. The triigers also work property as i can make ryo walk exacly how im holding the trigger. Havent tried the arcade games thought

Awesome! I've absolutely no experience with emulating Shenmue on anything before, but it's great to hear it's fully playable on a portable device :)
