Interestingly, that's like a massively more offensive version of what my dad was saying the other day- he was mentioning how Obama was bi-racial, and, like, not what one thinks of as "stereotypically black", and just...

I KNOW he's bi-racial, and all the family history and whatnot. But I just, I maintain that when people from Bumfuckville look on TV and see him, they think 'black guy'. Purely based on superficial perception, he's black. His skin. It is chocolatey. So the fact that he got elected is a huge historical racial deal because regardless of the nuances, he is The Black Guy.

And Tony Young can suck it.
