<p>Funny. Could probably add 100 more things to the list.</p>

<p>I saw this on Facebook an hour ago, and could relate to just about all of them. It was funny, made funnier by the fact that most of them-if not all- are true. I hope no one takes offense to it.</p>

<p>In my experiences, the only people I’ve heard use the term “oreo” or question other people’s “blackness” is…other black kids. Maybe that’s a product of where I’m from.</p>

<p>LOL do people really ask if black people tan? I’m not white (but I’m not black either) and no one’s asked me that xD</p>

<p>I saw this on FB. Perfectly accurate, lol.</p>
