What is The Oreo Experience
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 gene for black people: the one that makes me love Renaissance Faires, A Prairie Home Companion, kayaking, my Company soundtrack and Restoration Hardware.
This blog is dedicated to the joys, confusion, stares, opportunities and awkwardness that that brings.
Would you ever date a guy who is nonwhite AND nonoreo? I’ve always wanted to date a white woman but I don’t want to get flack from the sistas and society as a whole. It sounds like you could offer the best of both worlds…as long as you could keep your mouth shut when we are around black folks. What do you say we hook up sometime?
Peace

Well, according to the rules, Oreos are unfortunatley not allowed to date RBP. Though the fact that you want to go interracial does show that you have promise!
I’ll see who I can recommend for you.
Your site is funny! You have a great sense of humor, and you can get away with saying things a white guy like myself couldn’t.
On top of that, you’re cute enough to get pretty much any guy you choose, so be picky.
Take care and good luck!
I had no idea what to expect from the name of this blog.
I LOVE it! Keep on doing what you do…I’ll be reading…
Love it! Funny yet sensible and so so real. I’m linking you on my pages that I like – if that’s okay
I’ve not come across the term Oreo before – must tell my son, because he describes one of his friends as ‘the whitest black guy ever’.
I am mixed race (so is my son, obviously) but I my skin is really pale (and turning paler, due to a skin condition). However, the hairs on the back of my neck rise at regular intervals – like whenever I hear remarks about ‘foreigners’ (etc etc).
I love the humor of your blog and find myself giggling out loud when I read it. You know the saying goes there’s a little truth behind every joke; you highlight that so well!
Not an Oreo myself, but I enjoy what I’ve read in the blog. Thanks for keeping me informed
And by the way, love of Renaissance Faires is not to be helped, you either do, or you violently don’t, there is very little choice in the matter, I’ve found. If you ever want to commission a costume, shoot me an email and we’ll talk. http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?pid=434032&id=1152924264
