The publishers of the Mark Twain classic Adventures of Huckleberry Finn have made two word changes to the new edition. Nigger has been changed to slave (219 times), and injun to Indian.
The New York Times covers the angles well in their Room for Debate opinion section.
I hope the publishers don't listen to rap music.
And what kind of a name is Huckleberry? I think it should be changed to Bobby, Steve or maybe Dwayne.
