Talkin' to me?
I have to admit that the idea that any and all potential bywords for "black" are pejorative is not one I have internalized. I happened to read the story about Brothers Fox and Rabbit the other day, quite simply.
Racist interpretation
Although the term "tar baby" is documented as coming from a folktale of African origin, its modern meaning in America is different. Many consider tar baby to be a pejorative term for African Americans.[21] The Oxford English Dictionary mentions tar baby as "a contemptuous term for a black person",[22] and the subscription version also mentions "a derogatory term for a Black (U.S.) or a Maori (N.Z.)".[1][23]
Several United States politicians—including presidential party nominees John Kerry, John McCain, Mitt Romney[24]—have been criticized by civil rights leaders, the media, and fellow politicians for using the "tar baby" metaphor.[23][25] An article in The New Republic argued that people are "unaware that some consider it to have a second meaning as a slur" and it "is an obscure slur, not even known to be so by a substantial proportion of the population". It continued that, "those who feel that tar baby's status as a slur is patently obvious are judging from the fact that it sounds like a racial slur".[26]
