Oriental was a term used long ago to describe someone from the "orient". The orient was Japan, and China.
Nowadays we don't refer to people from China or Japan as being from the "orient" if we do not know whether they are Japanese, or Chinese, or Taiwanese, we say they are "Asian"

The Asian LA Laker girl's name is Lisa. She has been a Laker girl since 2008 and lives in Los Angeles.

The word "orient" means the countries of the East, especially East Asia - situated in the East. So "oriental people" are those people from or living in the East (as observed from Europe).
This is a transposition of the word oriental meaning from eastern Asia.Capitalization (Oriental) is inconsistent, except where referring to people (Orientals).
Oriental Massage is not a modality like Thai massage or Shiatsu. Oriental massage parlors are often offering illegal add-on and services to massage. Professional massage therapists would never say they do oriental massage. It pretty much means you can get a happy ending there.
That is no where near any form of a viable sentence in the English language.

Yes, using the term "oriental" to refer to a person from China or similar nations is considered outdated and can be perceived as politically incorrect. It is more respectful to refer to individuals based on their specific nationality or ethnicity.
Some people say it is some it isn't.
