A sentence from the introduction paragraph contradicts information from the “Origins” section:

“Rice based the character on a folk trickster named Jim Crow that had long been popular among black slaves.[1]”

Jim Crow is used on page one of Uncle Tom's Cabin to call out to a 4 year old mixed race child. so quickly became standard usage that everyone knew. (mercurywoodrose) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.193.19.66 (talk) 19:55, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
