Check out “Obama Fingers,” the new frozen food now available in Germany. Nothing racist about it, says the manufacturer - it is “an homage to the American lifestyle and the new U.S. president.”
We could start a blog on any number of controversial topics – let’s pick abortion for the sake of this argument – and we would likely all agree on a common definition. “Yep, that is an abortion… no, that is not.”
What’s the common definition of racism? How do we know it when we see it (or, ahem, eat it)?

Just wondering if, if Obama were white man, would it be possible to invent such a name…. Anyway, it s really funny to see U.S president ‘s name on just this thing.
