Just as a small point with no connection to Limbaugh's usage. The term Oreo is most commonly used BY black people against OTHER black people. It refers specifically to a black person who's actions do not fulfill black stereotypes, whether positive or negative. It is not something you would normally hear from a white person, especially not a 'true' racist. Can you imagine a klansman saying that Obama was white on the inside? Oreo is offensive and may sound racist but I don't think it fits the criteria of a racist remark. On the other hand, Limbaugh might well have meant it as a racist remark. Calling someone a pickle can sound racist if you say it right.
