Of course the PC version of Huck Finn  'South with a freed slave named Jim.'  they can't leave it as it was historicaly written with 'Nigger Jim,' because it might offend someone; but they would prefer to keep up with African American English, 'ebonics', instead of a part of history.    I'm really surprised they didn't change it to dat freed nigga slave Jim .  smh  :/  Talk about censorship.  To me by them doing this; I put it right on up there with book burning.


From CAL:African American English
African American English (AAE) is a dialect of American English used by many African Americans in certain settings and circumstances. Like other dialects of English, AAE is a regular, systematic language variety that contrasts with other dialects in terms of its grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary.
Terms for African American English
The terms used by scholars to refer to the unique language variety of many African Americans reflects the changing terms used to refer to African Americans themselves across the decades. Early studies of AAE in the 1960s used the terms Negro speechNegro English, or Negro American dialect. Starting around 1970 and continuing throughout the decade, the preferred term was Black English or Black English Vernacular (BEV). In the mid-1980s African-American became the preferred term for black Americans, and by 1991 linguists were using the term African American Vernacular English(AAVE). Today African American English (AAE) is the generally accepted term, although AAVE is still used too.
The term Ebonics (a blend of ebony and phonics) gained recognition in 1996 as a result of the Oakland School Board’s use of the term in its proposal to use African American English in teaching Standard English in the Oakland Schools. The term was coined by Robert Williams in 1973, but it wasn’t until the Ebonics controversy that Ebonics became widely used. Most linguists prefer the term African American English as it aligns the variety with regional, national, and sociocultural varieties of English such as British English, Southern English, Cajun English, and so forth.




Yeah and here is what they are recommending in Russia, and I bet they don't change the written words or perhaps they do/did so as not to offend the Jewish or Gypsy or someone.
