This is why I never finished my Master's in Eng Lit and turned to slinging drinks. When a black student called Twain a "racist" for using the "nigger word," and the "professor" just sat there, nodding her head. All us whiteys were speechless.
1992.
i knew it was game over at that point.

No discussion of competing theories as to why Twain did that, huh. (A more conventional read is that by brutal frankness he was focusing criticism upon the manners of the people who were calling black people the N word.)

Obviously they need to issue a revised edition of Huck Finn to make it suitable for use in college courses. Replace all the offensive words and micro-aggressions with politically-correct equivalents and non-threatening scenarios.
