The Oreo Experience or: My Life and Times as a Super White Black Person
Oreo – Slang: Disparaging and Offensive. a black person who is regarded as having adopted the attitudes, values,and behavior thought to be characteristic of middle-class white society, often at the expense of his or her own heritage.
My grandparents have really cool recessive genes for black people. They have this rich, dark skin with bright blue eyes.
I also have an interesting recessive gene for black people: the one that makes me love Renaissance Fairs, Kristen Chenowith and cat shows.
This blog is dedicated to that existence.
I really enjoy reading this site! You are a funny lady!
Love it! Great funny venting!
You are hilarious, and are on to something. I have been a misplaced oreo all my life; looking for like minded oreos to chop game with (does that slang disqualify me). Glad I found you.
Thanks for representing.
Afristocrat – I love it!!
Today is the first day that I have had the chance to sit down and get into your blog. Finally…. someone who explains it from our perspective. You are spot on! (Except for that Sound of Music thing….) Lol.
Chop game…as in cutting up a Cornish game hen? Because I am fantastic at that.
*rushes off to urban dictionary*
OMG your blog is great.. I’m a puerto rican oreo myself thanks for the chuckle.
Puerto Rican Oreo = Coconut.
Welcome to the fold!
Lol I was telling my fiancé about your blog. He said I’m a vanilla wafer lol cause I don’t even look puerto rican. Lol
best Blog post I have seen all day you rock..
This is an interesting blog!
Ugh. This blog is painfully meaningful to me. I’ve been browsing and you are spot on. I’m reclaiming my oreo’ness as I was once called “The whitest black person I’ve ever met.” Good to be home.
Welcome back!
