Its a shame.

Twain puts them in a pretty good light. Stupid but certainly not malevolent. Im glad they haven't changed the terminology yet. It was basically just a categorical term of the period when twain used it.

does this actually happen in hs still?
I went to public highschool in california of all places, and when we read huckfinn freshman year no one complained about the use of nigger or negro.

Its probably gotten worse since then.

Seems like back then the issue was with the usage of it by white people as a pejorative in a modern context. I remember reading it in liberal new England, the teacher prefaced it with the fact that it was dated language and there was no problem. Today white people even talking about black people is enough for them to chimp out.

My American Lit II professor gave zero fucks about it but he was older than dirt and like the second longest tenured professor on campus.
