Same. From a child’s perspective, that’s what the story was.
But walking into a Sambo’s meant being immersed in the visual world, which was loaded with racist tropes. Sambo was depicted as a foolish child with dark skin and either a giant grin or eye-popping fear.
Again, I was a kid in the 1970s and I knew it was racist.
