i read an article on cnn.com (do a google for "sambo's" & it's one of the first sites listed). apparently, the name of the restaurant was based on the 2 owners' first names: sam & bo. it's weird that sambo became such a negative "black/african" stereotype since the original story takes place in india (hence the tiger instead of, say, a lion). btw, thanks for those audio clips. mamie & papie? |
