Anyone else think Sambo's username is slightly RACIST?

[Safeway]

I always thought the word 'Sambo' was a derogatory term for a black person.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Dumbo.

 

[tinx]

I'd hazzard a guess that sambo is a reference to his name being sam so in a nutshell no.

 

[Mental Lental]

Mango.

 

[Wozza]

Yes (Christ I'm agreeing with Safeway!).

I wouldn't change his username, precisely for that reason.

Not sure which admin agreed to it.

 

[REDLAND]

I thought it was some kind of womens self defence, hence why the :safeway
was used.

My mate from Huntington is doing it at the moment !!

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

Safeway - always the ****** in the woodpile.

 

[BrightonBird]

This is PC gone wrong!

Try technical support love.

Banjo

It's all in the mind

Little Black Sambo was a character in kid's book written about 100 years ago by Hellen Bannerman.

It is just as racist as the Robertson's Gollywog, i.e. it is perceived as being unacceptable in Blair's Britain.

Don't call me love...mate!

 

[rool]

possibly, but coming from a person who thinks it's ok to beat asian women (and who said he was never coming back to this board), it smacks of double standards.

As such both were actually affectionate until somebody decided to use them as insults.

 

[Wozza]

Yes, like Paki. And I don't think that would be acceptable as a username either.

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

So what the f*** is NSC going to do about it?! There's people coming on this site every minute who are getting insulted by his username. Or don't you care?

 

[rool]

Come on, there is at least one mod on line who was quick to take people to task for starting double threads, don't shirk the issue when there is potential for real moderating to be done.

If you actually believed what I said then you're even more of a f***ing RETARD than someone who simply gets their 'u's and 'o's mixed up. The sort of person that thinks Eminen really has murdered his wife, yet probably thinks it's okay to read a good Steven King book. Double standards you said?

And I never said I was never coming back, I just I was having a bit of a break.

(Mods, I'd like to change my username to Spade if that's alright? )
