Uncle Tom has a different meaning. There are terms like Oreos, or coconut that imply a black person is black on the outside, but white on the inside, as in, they act white, but appear black. I can see how that could be perceived as racist.

Uncle Tom has a specific meaning a black person being overly deferential to, or appeasing white people, as a sellout to their own race. It comes from an old character in a book of a “virtuous” slave. It can also be used for any minority person complicit in their own groups oppression.

You sound MAGA making excuses for why its OK to round up brown people.

The actions of snoop, have nothing whatsoever to do with the colour of skin. You, and all the other racists, are making about his skin in a "no true Scotsman" fashion. Youre the same gaggle of cave brained cunts who bemoaned Carlton not being "black enough" back in the 90s because he liked Tom Jones.

Being a shitty person has NOTHING to do with the colour of someones skin. And if you think it does, well, you know what you are...

Nop, just trying to educate on the terms as you seem to be using them erroneously.
