Your Definition
A deragotry term for an [African-American] who is presumed to have rejected the values and traditions of their race and ethnicity, and instead has adopted the norms of dominant European-American culture. The characteristics of one defined as "oreo" are nebulous in that many can be attributed to existing [African-American] culture, or the culture of recent African immigrants. Some cite higher education status, middle-class and upper-class income, and conservative dress as means of identifying "an oreo." The main assumption is that this person has rejected [African-American] racial identity. The irony is that African-American rights activists, clergy, academic researchers on racial identity, and teachers could fit the "oreo" sterotype, if one is to base this term on higher socioeconomic class and all that comes with it. Few would argue that African-Americans in the aforementioned fields are "oreos."
