improper use of terminology - my pet peeve

==The character's name as a term of abuse==
It's odd that people would use this character's name to mean someone a black man who is too submissive, when Uncle Tom actually refused to submit on matters of principle even when his life was at stake. It's as foolish as calling someone a [[Pollyanna]] for indulging in wishful thinking, because the heroine of ''[[Pollyanna]]'' was eminently practical and realistic in her search for the silver lining in the dark clouds that came her way. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 16:00, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
