And the RNC considered it racist and put the kibosh on its distribution. Here's what is racist: 1. The term Negro, to describe a man who is half white, is both inaccurate and I would contend the ommission of the white side to be racist. What the song emphasizes is half of a man's racial makeup just to get a laugh. The term itself means black in Spanish and is not racist, nor is The United Negro College Fund. 2. The term "clean" demeans an entire race which is then, by default, unclean. I didn't like it when either Dodd or Biden used it and dislike it when Shanklin uses it. 3. Not authentic? 4. Interlopers is a derogatory term for whites who think? 5. The fact that it was played on the racist Rush Limbaugh Show in place of "Rush The Tragic Drag Queen."
