In post #1234 I posted a link to a video (hopefully it's still there) of an interview with Mr. Clemente, which is really cool, and then I posted some stuff about the 'Bob' thing in post #1239. I had never heard of it being a racist thing until relatively recently, and I'm of the firm belief that 'Bob' or 'Bobby' is simply a name that is immediately applied to any person named Robert (hence Roberto) by 99% of the English speaking world. It is just human nature.
