But think of how a rewritten version can depict Southern whites as ignorant, bigoted drunks, while showing the oppressed POCs as vastly their superiors in every way (except book learning maybe). In the original version, Huck thinks of running off to the Indian Territory. In the revised version he does so to become a berdache (Indian male who took on a woman's role). After all, he does indulge in cross-dressing in the original novel so that shows his inclinations.
