When the PC types remove the "N-word" from Huck, and substitute "African-Americans" it changes the speech of the viciously racist slave dealing Southerners and they begin to seem like nice, normal people.

That's certainly not what Mark Twain intended.

You have nailed (with brevity) what I tried to get across to a UCLA undergrad.
But this poor deluded child had been convinced by his UCLA professor that the really evil thing
about Huckleberry Finn was the author!

As much as I tried to convince him that Twain was holding up slave-holders to ridicule
and harpooning slavery, he just couldn't abandon the PC-Party line.

And he still couldn't buy it when I said "HEY, I, my parents and a couple of generations
back were Southerners and know more about this stuff than you do!"
(the UCLA student was a good-hearted Asian immigrant...)

substitute "African-Americans"

No, we've moved on (or back). Now, it's "people of color."

Keep up!
