In fact, my husband points out - it is BECAUSE they banned Little Black Sambo that the guys did not know what to do. Political Correctness strikes again.

I do not understand why Little Black Sambo is considered Politically Incorrect.

From the book:

And Black Mumbo made him a beautiful little Red Coat, and a pair of beautiful little blue trousers.

And Black Jumbo went to the Bazaar, and bought him a beautiful Green Umbrella, and a lovely little Pair of Purple Shoes with Crimson Soles and Crimson Linings.

And then wasn't Little Black Sambo grand?

The book was ahead of its time. It's obvious that Little Black Sambo is gay!
