 And the best argument you can make for it, if you're making an argument for it, is to say that you can't escape racism in this book, that that word is the insignia of racism. And the book's not trying to tell you that we're over it or we're doing better or we found a solution. The book's trying to tell you it's inescapable. And even in this nice kid, it's inescapable. That's the best reason for it. The other reasons for it are simply that it's archaic. It's a mistake. If Mark Twain were alive today, he wouldn't publish it this way.
