Why the name Jim?

A couple of weeks ago at t-ball camp, they let the kids reach in a grab bag of junky toys and pick something out. William chose an Animal Snap card game. This is one of the cards in the deck. I'm sure the toy was made somewhere in Asia where they probably have no idea of the implications. And it's not as if there is anything particularly negative or racial about this character. But it does seem unfortunate.

Speaking of grab bags of junky toys, who remembers the precursor of the happy meal toy: the Perkins Wishing Well.
