You have a point, atsonicpark. Many people who are called racist (from the little of what I've gathered of course) aren't actually supremacist as they are segregationist. Their intense pride of their ethnicity finds more value in keeping races separate rather than subjugating the rest to their group given that subjugation could only come after segregation. Thus people of mixed race embody the breakdown that would make segregation impossible. It is one thing to be different than another person but it is another to, in their eyes, devalue the difference which they feel significantly defines them. In a way, Obama being mixed race is more of a significant advancement than being black by realizing the melting pot reality of the USA. However, Obama has already been aligned with the black race enough to undermine a great deal of this multiculturalist message.
