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.

I don't know what Cannoli's intent was. He says plenty of things in a "tongue in cheek manner" that are obviously awful, so I don't think what he intends here computes.
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?
This is about as ironic as Washington being appointed the Commanding General of the Continental Army.
By this "logic", to fight the imperialist Brits, the Revolutionary forces should have appointed a pro-Imperialst British man? The Suffragette Movement should have asked a man to lead them, and the Civil Rights marches should have been led by a white man?
This is about the stupidest takes I've ever read.
Proof of Biden's senility - picking a black(ish) VP while running in the most racist country ever.

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