Does he mean soft R or hard R? Regardless I don't know what it is meant to test exactly.

I think his implication is, if the public’s reaction to her dropping an n-bomb is, well that’s her word she gets to reclaim it/use it, she’s black. If their reaction is, woah that’s racist she can’t say that, then she’s Indian.

So I looked up if Obama ever said the n-word and it's just about what I expected

I think it's used in his book as well, which he read for the audiobook.

I'm sure you're correct, but I'm amusing myself with believing it's some kind of phrenology shibboleth theory where they think only African American people are capable of saying the soft R.
