He/she may even be an OREO.
Sorry, but you out-and-out said she could possibly be an Oreo. That is not a generalized statement.

The fact is that when you get a little older, you will come to realize that there are many views of the world. There are views lie yours, who find racism in everything, and there are other veiws who find racism in nothing. Then there are those who come to realize that it is actually a very grey area. Not either or. I once argued to a classroom about the racism in Shrek. Do I think it is racist? Could be! But my point was more to illustrate the hyper-sensitivity of some blacks, as well as automatic dismissal by some whites. By automatic dismissal I mean that as SOON as the word racism is mentioned, some whites tune out because they think that whoever mentions it is just being overly sensitive. These are the extremes, not the norms. Not everything is so black and white...
