Because we dare not risk offending anyone

A classic work of of American writing is going to be PC’ed! H/T Bluegrass Pundit

(The Australian) – A PUBLISHER is planning to release a new edition of two of Mark Twain’s classic novels that replaces the racial slurs used throughout the books with less offensive language.

NewSouth Books will release a single volume containing both novels, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, overseen by Twain scholar Alan Gribben, Publisher’s Weekly said. In both, the n-word is replaced with the word “slave” and the word “Injun” is removed.

Just go ahead and whitewash everything, we must not risk offending anyone. Sadly, the “Progressives” wish to do this type of thing to our history as well as our novels. We will soon have nothing but sanitized versions of everything if this is not stopped.
