sambo
noun- a black person US
Originally neutral, gradually accepted as taboo and derogatory; popular etymology holds that “sambo” derives from “sandboy” as in “happy as a sandboy”; however Spanish or African origins account for the use from about 1704 as a proper name, slipping into a generic sense later in the C18. - My Dad has taught me that in England some foolish man may call me sambo, darkie, boot or munt or nigger, even. — Colin McInnes, City of Spades, 1957
