Uncle Tom syndrome and republican Allen West

In the American racial context, Uncle Tom is a pejorative term for blacks that give up or hide their ethnic or gender outlooks, traits, and practices, in order to be accepted into the mainstream—a so-called race traitor. In African American parlance this is also derogatorily known as an Oreo cookie, black on the outside only, white on the inside.

Shorter republican Allen West: I'm an Oreo on principle. Further, I lied about riding with a White Supremacist motorcycle group because I was ashamed of being a Race Traitor. Liberals attack me for that.
