I'm aware of the associations in the UK. What's wrong with "East Asian"? Seems pretty handy to me. In the US, we say "South Asian" (for example) if we want to specify that we're not talking about East Asian people. Or, alternately, you could just say what they are exactly - Chinese, Japanese, Korean. No need to lump us all together if you know our exact ethnicity, we're not homogeneous or a monolith. I really don't believe that "Oriental" is the only handy expression available.

But even so, like I said, that's not relevant here because Lady Gaga is American, not British. And since you replied to my comment about The Egypt Game, I'll point out that TEG is an American publication as well. So what flies in the UK is not a defense here.
