The funny thing about this is that "Sambo" was INDIAN not BLACK. He was menaced by tigers. Now, how many tigers are there in Africa, hmm?

Never mind what Sambo ACTUALLY means...it's what they THINK it means.

When the book Little Black Sambo was written, over 100 years ago, Indians, Pakistanis, and the like were also considered "black" or "colored" by the British.

I was once accused of being racist because I said two black girls looked like "The Bobsy Twins"(who were white BTW)!
