I call anyone who acts like anything an idiot. Everyone should just be themselves and not try to act like anything. But when you say act white that covers a lot of different ways to act. I know a lot of white people and nearly every one of them act different. Are there that many people out there that still live in a racially motivated state of mind?

Fr Wikipedia: Acting white, from the epithet applied by some blacks to other blacks (also other minorites such as Asians and Hispanics), refers to a perceived betraying of one's race by incorporating the social expectations of mainstream white society . This encompasses such things as speaking grammatically-correct English, dressing conservatively, living in suburbs, and otherwise attempting to conform to behavior approved of by the dominant culture.

I'm not a racist or anything but I've heard the term Oreo before. White on the inside black on the outside.

Not to be offensive, but I've heard they're called "oreos" because they're black on the outside yet white on the inside.

A human. Seriously, why should everything be about race. Be who you want to be. So what if you like rock music. I'm sure you are not the only black person out there that does. Also, you should be able to be friends with whom ever you choose, regardless of the persons race.

Is that an OREO, black on the outside but white in the heart?

I'm not sure, but I like the first answer and the oreo answers. Carlton Banks is good, too.
By the way, don't let your friends get to you. Be proud of who you are!

There is nothing wrong about your black or white. You are the same human being But if you are black and pretend to be white , you are called liar or pretentious. but why deny your race show to the white that you do anything that a white can do
