On this episode, we focus on the term "oreo" and what it means in the black community. We define what it is and whether it can be considered a derogatory term, the distinction between people deemed as oreos and how they differ from people within the hip hop culture. How did the term start and whether it’s a byproduct of the term "house n----a", at what point did we notice people were possibly "oreos. How they are treated in their youth vs. adulthood, why people of color focus so much on defining blackness, is this behavior apparent in other ethnic groups, how some "oreos" treat other black people, how "oreos" can assimilate to the culture and whether they are given the chance to do so and our Extra Ignorance segment of the week.
