my god youre a dumb SOB,,,,You said "caved" not forced then. Is this correct?/——/ Yes, it hurt their liberty when they caved to Political Correctness gone haywire. The majority of Alumni was against it.Did that hurt them to change it to Red Storm?/—-/ Same idiotic thing happened to St John’s University. Their mascot was Redmen, a nickname given to the football team’s red uniform. Libs twisted to to be a slur against Indians, so they changed it to Red Storm.The last Sambo's restaurant, a chain that once boasted 1,117 locations, has changed its name. I guess the only surprising thing is, it didn't happen sooner, given its location (Santa Barbara) and people's general ignorance as to the origin of the name (a combination of the two owners' names, Sam Battistone Sr. and Newell "Bo" Bohnett).
It was a great place to for breakfast when is SB, I don't imagine that will change just because the name did...

1. It is a good decision to change the name. There is no need to unnecessarily hurt people's feelings.
2, I also feel that we should not use the word that starts with an "n" that means "stingy."
3. It is also time, I feel, that Aunt Jemima pancake mix change its name and especially the illustration on the box. (I also wince a bit at the name of Uncle Ben's Rice. The word "uncle" was long used to denigrate African American men in the South.)
4. I believe, however, that Mark Twain's use of the N-word should be left in his books.
5. Like it or not, the Confederate statues in the South are falling. Personally, I think that they should stand for historical reasons. But I can understand why some people want them taken down.

They absolutely played to the built in branding of the name, of that there is no doubt, but that's not why they chose the name...
Funny how the story of an Indian boy written in 1899 evolved over the years to become what it did. At the time. critics noted that the author, Helen Bannerman, presented one of the first black heroes in children's literature and regarded the book as positively portraying black characters in both the text and pictures, especially when compared to the more negative books of that time that portrayed blacks as simple and uncivilized.
There was certainly nothing seen as racist about the story when it was published, nor when Sambo's adopted it as their theme. “Little Black Sambo” wasn't even an African-descended character; he was Indian. Note that tigers play a major role in the story, and that tigers are endemic to India, but not to anywhere in Africa nor the Americas, so an African or an African-descended American child wouldn't be likely to appear in the same story with tigers.
I faintly remember a book of the story that I had as a young child. It was one of those childrens' books, with thick cardboard pages, bright colorful pictures, and a simplified text of the story, suitable for children just learning to read. I'm amazed, now, at how clearly I remember how Sambo himself was pictured. I think the illustrations must have been made by making small figures of the characters and props, and photographing them. Sambo was a cartoonish child form, wearing a turban, a bright red shirt, green shorts, purple shoes, and a blue umbrella (maybe the shorts were blue, and the umbrella green) (that is, until he gave all those things to the various tigers, and again, after he retrieved them from the pile of butter that the tigers had become.

What's the new name?
For the time being, this appears to be it…
When I lived back East I remember the chain but haven't seen one in many years.
The chain ceased to exist a long time ago, back in the 1980s. Since then, only the original restaurant in Santa Barbara has existed.

Maybe when restaurateurs Nathaniel Smith and Benjamin Ziegfeld conflate their names to call their chain Nazi's, all those Sambo fans can get a plate of pancakes in peace.

Look at all the sad tRumplings. So upset one of their favorite symbols has changed it's name.
Not their menu, not the atmosphere, not the management, not the patrons, not the decore, not the staff, not the location... just the racist name.
And they're heartbroken.
Because they aren't racists?
