should in and of itself make it more acceptable than "half-black." It's part of popular culture. Plus obviously Cannoli was using it in a tongue-in-cheek manner.
The irony is that the Dems paint America as the most racist country in the world, then select a person of color (that's the acceptable description for half black, half brown right?) as VP candidate. If the first is true then wouldn't the second be a losing strategy?

Proof of Biden's senility - picking a black(ish) VP while running in the most racist country ever.

This is pretty loathsome, even for Cannoli. *NM*

I must be missing something... didn't see anything particularly objectionable there. *NM*

You’re not missing anything. It’s irony, not anything remotely objectionable. *NM*

When was the last time you met anyone who made the choice to use the phrase "black(ish)"? *NM*

It's the title of an American TV show. Great call!

You don't see the difference between using that term for a show vs. a person?

Spare me your "patience". I'd appreciate some intelligence instead.

It may seem that way, but no. And thank you for abandoning that line of argument.
