From my short read of the wiki page...
It's been known as a tar doll in the past then the story was americanized into it being named a tar baby. After that the slur came about but apparently if it's a slur has been debated in the past.

It'll be shoot first and ask questions later, like most modern American policing.

'k, since "Tar-Baby" was apparently very funny to all the wrong people, I decided to respect the sensibilities of those who disliked the name. It is now a "Tar Doll", requiring bone glue and tar.
Change will be effective after the next restart.
Good day to you.
