		Sambo has been used as a pejorative to describe fl men for many decades and the use probably is taken from the book.
		It is during this period that the leading universities engage in measuring the skulls of fls and whites and Indians and on the basis of skull size and capacity determine the place of each on the evolutionary chain.
		However, I would be hesitant to assert, as someone did, that his daughter was exposed to LBS and there is not the "slightest tinge of racism in her little body." Racism is not a quality of existence; it is attitudes and it is acts.

		When a fl person says that something is racist and a white person responds by saying it is not, the message the fl person receives is that the white person does not want to listen, that the white person is not taking the fl person seriously.
		The carefree Sambo was a caricature of popular culture in the 19th and early 20th century that permeated media images of fls.

	Little Black Sambo
		I think Little Black Sambo is an okay book for children if you disregard the derogatory names of the kid and his parents, and tell your kid not to call anyone by them.
		Sambo communicates with animals, which seemed to imply that he is inferior, and close to the animal world.
		Sambo's parents are called Black Jumbo and Black Mumbo, and these names are rather apt to harbor racial and religious intolerance (as in the phrase "mumbo-jumbo").

	FCL: Discussions -- Little Black Sambo and Racism
		In a reading to "Little Black Sambo: A Closer Look" by Phyllis Yuill for the Council on Interracial Books for Children, the original "authorized" version of LBS took place in India, hence the tigers (at least) are in their proper locale.
		Sambo was changed to Rama, the names of the adults were similarly changed, and the drawings were redone to eliminate the insulting "flface"caricatures.
		When I heard the story of "Little Black Sambo" growing up in Zaire, I loved the story, the descriptions of the clothes, and since I had never heard of "Sambo" as a derogatory epithet, that didn't bother me. I wonder, though if children of color have the same kind of blithe ignorance.

		Little Black Sambo, just like Babar and Curious George, read without a critical eye, is a story than furthers the cause of racism.
		Other white counterparts of Sambo include the invariably inebriated Irishman or Scotsman, the ever questioning and unintelligent Swede, or the ever mob-affiliated Italian--all of which are extraordinarily offensive, though they have been lodged within various forms of entertainment for years such as movies and jokes.
		Hood as a contrast to Black Sambo and the orange colored Ernie and Bert, KMD shows that racism by both white and fls can be detrimental.

		In a country where the fl population remains small, it seems that many Japanese don't care that sambo is considered to be as offensive as "darky" or "pickaninny." In the two months since it was published, "Chibikuro Sambo" has already reportedly sold over 100,000 copies.
		Little Black Sambo was initially regarded as a book that positively portrayed fl characters, especially in comparison to the more negative books of the time that depicted fls as simple and uncivilized.
		As far as I'm concerned, for her, "fl" COULD have meant anyone with a dark skin, but that doesn't change the fact that she used some racially specific tropes on the one hand, and some contradictory geographic and zoological ones on the other.

		Which may help explain why a reissue of "Little Black Sambo," a turn-of-the-20th Century illustrated children's book with a reputation for racism, is back on the best-seller lists in Japan.
		"Sambo" was a big favorite of Japanese families from the time it was introduced here in 1953 until it was yanked from bookstores in 1988 after a swift and effective anti-racism campaign.
		The rap against it in Japan echoed that in the West years earlier: Sambo was a long-standing racist term for American fls, and illustrator Frank Dobias' portrayal of the main character, with his bulging white eyes and exaggerated lips, was deeply offensive.
