An Oreo is a racist1 slur2 based on racist stereotypes3 wrongly assuming that intelligence, articulateness, dapperness, and manners are traits of whites and not blacks. Therefore, a black who possesses these traits is an oreo, white on the inside and black on the outside. A corollary slur is banana, yellow (Asian) on the outside and white on the inside.
 
奥利奥是一种基于刻板印象的种族侮辱，这种种族成见是因为错误地假定聪慧、口齿清楚、整洁、礼貌都是白人而非黑人的特质而产生的。因此，有这种特质的黑人就叫奥利奥，外表是黑皮肤，内在和白人一样。依此类推另一个种族侮辱是香蕉，黄皮肤的外表和白人的内在。
 
Often Oreos are educated, intelligent, goal-oriented and the respectful of the business community，such as President Barack Obama, billionaire and television mogul Oprah Winfrey. However, in the eyes of the dominant4 Black African American community, they are "guilty" of being "White" on the inside.
 
奥利奥通常都受过良好的教育，聪明，目标明确，受到商界的尊重，例如奥巴马总统和亿万富翁、电视界大亨奥普拉•温弗瑞。但是，在非裔美国人社区里，奥利奥却要为心怀白人价值观而感到羞耻。
