Racism in Huck Finn by Mark Twain

…

…is absurd. It belittles African Americans and other minorities, and treats them as objects. It does not heal them, it only serves as a symbolic action for bigger problems we are afraid to address. We must change our perspective on things. This means not making Huckleberry Finn (which does all of these things) mandatory curriculum, rather optional reading on spare time. As well as this, we must consult other cultures not walk all over them.
