      Okay, uh. Fellow white people. Here's a list of times it's okay for us to call someone "Uncle Tom": - We're talking about Tom, who has a fraternal relationship to one of our parents. or - We're talking about Tom, an avuncular friend of the family who had a hand in raising us.

      You forgot "Talking about the titular character in the novel 'Uncle Tom's Cabin'".

      Of course if you've ever actually READ "Uncle Tom's Cabin", you would never use that name as an insult to begin with...

      I have never read the book. But I assume it's point is more nuanced than it's use as colloquialism suggest.

      I feel like I read somewhere that in stage play versions of the story, Uncle Tom was often played as a minstrel show stereotype, and that's where the term came from.

      Yeah the book had much more of a second life in the stage adaptations (many of them unlicensed and shoddily done), which stripped the book of most of its politics and turned it into just a condescending sentimental narrative

      The joke in The King and I about them doing a version of Uncle Tom's Cabin for the king's court with all the context stripped away ("The Small House of Uncle Thomas") kind of says it all
