Orientalist

What is Orientalist?


1.

Someone, usually Caucasian, but not always, who is very interested in the various cultures of Asia, commonly known as the Orient,

such as languages, writing systems, traditions & architecture.

The orientalist may study to an extreme to amass as much knowledge about Asia as they can.

Some people may call me an Orientalist, but I would refute that assumption.
