Ummm.

Oreo cookie is a slang term used to describe a black person who "acts white" (black on the outside, white on the inside, like an Oreo cookie), often used in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (see List of ethnic slurs)

Of course, we now have a US official calling Obama "uppity", so maybe it's time to change the definition of "acting white".
