Not here, Asian doesn't mean oriental in the UK. Asian here refers to Indian ethnicity.
I had this problem with a game I worked on, we had an argument with Interplay US over the name of a level. They claimed the word oriental was offensive (the level was chinese architecture) and we couldn't cope with asian (the lead artist was asian ethnicity (family from India) ).
Hence in the film Bend It Like Beckham, they are an Asian family (Ethnic background from the Indian sub-continent).
Whenever I see people saying hot asian chick, I expect a completely different look (but both are hot so who cares ;-) )
