Exactly. I think it refers to individuals of african descent who act in a
way the local community perceives as that of european descent. I.e., a black
guy sucking up to a white guy to get white guy perks would be an oreo.

You think? O_O ;-)
AFAIK It also applies to (I'm at a loss for the correct term) people of

Similar to working class folk who want to get out of the slums
