I remember a restaurant that was called Sambo's that was forced to change it's name. The name was derived from the parts of the names of the two partners, Samuel and Bo-(something). It had nothing to do with any race or ethnicity, but it was forced to change because of some folks being offended by the name. Amazing how sensitive and weak some folks appear when it comes to perceptions. Or, maybe some just need an excuse to scratch the healing scab?
