Keep in mind that the Maestro's English is actually British English, where the word "oriental" carries no negative connotations. Oriental simply refers to persons of Japanese, Korean, or Chinese decent (such as Lucy Liu), and and those of certain SE Asian countries like Vietnam (such as myself). The term "Asian" includes all Orientals as well as those of Mideast and the Indian subcontinent (really, anyone who is descended from any place in Asia except Russia). So when the Maestro said "Oriental", he was just being very specific as to what kind of girls he loves :) I’m Asian, but while I found his usage of “oriental” a bit odd, it did not offend me.

It seems to take a decade or so for non-native English speakers to catch up to the times. I actually find charming in them, what we would consider politically incorrect in native speakers who ought to know better.

But I will buy the magazines just to look at the pictures, as always. I look forward to not being able to afford the hats of the maestro just as I cannot now afford his shoes.
