 sam·bo /ˈsæm(ˌ)bo, ˈsɑm-/
 [男性] 黑人;黑炭[綽號]印地安人與黑人之混血

From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 Sam·bo n.
 1. A negro; sometimes, the offspring of a black person and a mulatto; -- formerly used colloquially or with humorous intent, but now considered offensive or racist by African-Americans. [Derogatory and offensive]
 Note: A children's book named Little Black Sambo was at one time popular in elementary schools, but the book has been removed from reading lists in many American schools due to the development of a reduced acceptance of patronizing depictions of negros, as well as the negative associations of the word itself.
 2.  In Central America, an Indian and negro half-breed, or mixed blood.

From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 Sam·bo, n.  A colloquial or humorous appellation for a negro; sometimes, the offspring of a black person and a mulatto; a zambo.
