This is ridiculous. They are now going to mass edit the classic stories of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn to remove all racial epithets. The books have been dropped from school curriculum because of these and the new versions will make the stories more acceptable.
I call bullshit. These classic pieces of literature may be racist in their language but it needs to be that way because back then, it was the reality of the times. How can you change these things and still keep the correct story? This is just over the top.
