Jorge, you can't possibly be serious. Then again, maybe you are. I have a feeling you have not read the book, or perhaps you read it so long ago that you have forgotten the story but latched onto racial slurs.

May I ask if you have read it? May I ask why you think that our children aren't teachable and why you think that they would be like you, and only latch onto a racial slur rather than the entire meaning of the novel? May I ask why it is that you have such a chip on your shoulder?

The most perceptive post I've read on this thread.
You're right.

I read the book many years ago...and I liked it. But I do remember racial slurs.
