So, I try to post my Shades of Sambo's Pancakes recipe on the Amazon.com product page for the Infinite Circulon round griddle when this warning appears:

Well, go on. Click the Guidelines link.

Frankly, I can't find what's offensive about a pancake recipe that recreates the flavors of one's childhood, especially since you can buy this from the children's section of Amazon.com.

Think they'll yank the renamed recipe if they find out where kids once ordered breakfast from the "Tiger Tamers" menu?

Do your pancakes require scoops of embryo offal? Cuz that could be a problem. I mean, any recipe with embryo offal is pretty much a no no...

The word police are always on the job. The action police, not so much.

It's because you use the word....'Sambo'. It is a word that flags due to the race stuff from years ago. (I think that is why.)
