Please, everyone stop using the Sambo name to depict a negative American stereotype. Sambo is a dark skinned Indian character in a children's bookl written by a yes, white British woman about a an Indian boy who outsmarted a tiger in INDIA. Please don't associate it with some American children's stories of the early 1900's: uncle...
I googled Sambo to I understand more..apparently there is a second usage for Sambo and it refers to a negative Spanish term. Perhaps that is the way some use it. Langston Hughes had a negative reaction to the children's book, not realizing that it has nothing to do with american situation. Tigers are not native to Africa or to the US, but to India
