There actually IS an 'Obama skin' available on this forum. (I thought it was a running joke, but no, it's 4REAL.)
Choose Profile, modify profile, skins to get the Obama skin up and enhancing your online experience!

Who would joke about something as important as that?

Please be warned folks that the two other skins there will make all the writing disappear, the "Very Yellow" and the "Black" Skins are just experimental and will probably be deleted at some point.

Mixed race is what you meant, I'm sure. Or is that now not quite the thing to say? I'm never on top of all the latest, I'm afraid.

As I was saying in the chatroom the other night I had to pull up one of my friends for talking about 'coloured people', and she's blooming well black! She's in denial as she doesn't want to be BEM. (She just thinks of herself as Scottish, and is really peed off by the fact that everyone wants her to think of herself as 'black'. She's living in Kenya at the minute and it's doing her nut in that people keep claiming her as a 'sister'.)

An American I met in the early 1980s shocked me by describing himeslf as a "half breed."
I was even more disturbed by the tattoo on his forearm which read "made in Hong Kong."

I believe the new PC term is "dual heritage"...so next time somebody points at a dog and calls it a mongrel, be sure to leap to the moral high-ground and declare that it is a "dual heritage" dog.
Oh, and O'Bomber is, well, Blair, but a dual heritage, American Blair.
AH

I hang my head in shame.

"Dual heritage" sounds lovely. Sounds quite limiting. I have more than two cultural heritages (Scottish, Jewish, Frog, Russkie). Maybe "Multi-Heritage?". Personally I use the term "Mongrel" or "European" to describe myself ;D ;D

All fascinating but beside the point really because the Obama skin is not called the Black skin anyway.
