Why Oreos Are Racist

Everybody knows about the beloved oreo cookie. But some people genuinely believe that Oreos are racist. Why do people believe this? It’s because there’s more black than white. Yes, people genuinely believe oreos are racist because there’s more black than white within the cookie. Honestly, it shocks me how people genuinely thinks oreos are racist. They're just cookies. There's not many people who genuinely believe this, but there's still people who do actually believe it, and it kind of scares me. What else do these people believe?

 

All it is is a cookie. OREOS ARE JUST COOKIES. There’s no way a cookie can be racist. Saying an oreo is racist is like saying a coconut is racist because there’s brown on the outside and white on the inside. A cookie’s color has nothing to do with race. It’s just to make the cookie taste better. Who cares if there’s more black than white, oreos taste good. If you want your oreos to be less racist then dunk it in some milk. There you go, problem solved.

 

If you genuinely believe oreos are racist, then you need to rethink your life choices. An oreo is just a cookie. Nothing can be racist except people and their actions and/or words. I’m honestly not even surprised it’s people on Twitter who believe cookies are racist. I mean, come on, it’s Twitter, what else did you expect to come from it? Only people on Twitter would genuinely believe that oreos or other foods are racist. People on Twitter will believe anything they see. Or they'll attack you for just about anything. Blue scissors? That's racist towards blue people.

 

Do you think Oreos are racist?

 

What would you say to someone who genuinely believes cookies are racist?

    • Exactly, they can't be racist. These people aren't focused on the other flavors and colors of oreos. They're only focused on the original and believe it's racist only because of the color. Like you said, there's no connection between racism and oreos.

  • I think that's crazy and actually kind of funny that people genuinely think that. I would love to hear an actual argument to back that.

    • Yeah, it's really funny that the fact that people genuinely believe a cookie can be racist. It makes me want to start bursting out laughing. It'd be great to hear their argument and all these crazy connections on why oreos are "racist".

  • I don't think Oreos are racist. I think they are just cookies and nothing else. It is not important if they have more than one color. I would say to them to stop being crazy and that it doesn't matter which color they are.

    • Yeah exactly, it doesn't matter what color they are. Oreos aren't racist. There's no way that there's racist intentions behind a cookie of all things. These people really are crazy, and you can't even reason with them either because they'll never believe you.

  • No, I do not think that Oreos are racist. If I met someone who actually believed that I would be so confused and would ask them why they thought an inanimate object was racist.

    • A food can't be racist. Just because they're black and white doesn't mean they're racist. According to their logic the ying yang symbol would be racist too because it's black and white. Just because it's a color doesn't mean it's racist or anything else.

  • No Its a cookie consumed by millions and I don't think it would come across anyone's mind of being racist. People can have their own opinions but its a cookie. 

    • Only people without a life would be the type of person and look at a cookie and deem it racist because of it's colors. They're only there for the taste and because of the ingredients used in them. Cookies can't be racist, it's only a cookie.

  • No, I dont think oreos are racist. There a cookie, how can they be? If someone really though they were racist I would ask them why they think that. Im sure the people would made the cookie had no intentions on making it racist in anyway.
