should in and of itself make it more acceptable than "half-black." It's part of popular culture. Plus obviously Cannoli was using it in a tongue-in-cheek manner.
The irony is that the Dems paint America as the most racist country in the world, then select a person of color (that's the acceptable description for half black, half brown right?) as VP candidate. If the first is true then wouldn't the second be a losing strategy?

Proof of Biden's senility - picking a black(ish) VP while running in the most racist country ever.

This is pretty loathsome, even for Cannoli. *NM*

I must be missing something... didn't see anything particularly objectionable there. *NM*

You’re not missing anything. It’s irony, not anything remotely objectionable. *NM*

When was the last time you met anyone who made the choice to use the phrase "black(ish)"? *NM*

It's the title of an American TV show. Great call!

You don't see the difference between using that term for a show vs. a person?

Spare me your "patience". I'd appreciate some intelligence instead.

It may seem that way, but no. And thank you for abandoning that line of argument.

There's no way you don't understand the difference between someone using it to describe someone else
