I know in your innocence calling Ortio, Oreo seems cool but what calling someone an Oreo means is somewhat a racial epithet. It means you are black on the outside and white on the inside. I'd just avoid it's use as it's not fitting and not nice.

Term for African Americans that the black community is generally offended with for betraying their roots usually for dating caucasion girls, dressing too white, talking too white, etc. The term is branded OREO since they are "Black on the outside, White on the inside"

Here's even a spoof about it.
