Obama offends those of mixed heritage

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=6211371

I, like many Americans, am of mixed ancestry. I have some Scottish, Irish, German/Dutch, and Native American (American Indian) just to name those I am sure of. In the sense of ancestral purity, I am a mutt. By choosing to so casually throw out a term like "Mutt like me," he has chosen to casually offend all of us of mixed ancestry.

Please look at the wiktionary definition: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mutt. Please note the word pejorative. Please note the wikipedia entry on pejorative: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pejorative

Please note the media spun it a little differently:

"The message seemed clear — here is a president who will be quite at ease discussing race, a complex issue as unresolved as it is uncomfortable for many to talk about openly. And at a time when whites in the country are not many years from becoming the minority."

The President-elect has been so for 3 days and has already offended me racially.
