Lol, yes, have you read Huck Finn? That's what I'm concerned about. Jim is one of the best-written characters in American literary history.
and yet still, as a white man's idea of a black man, racism is embedded in every word written about him.

Huck Finn was published in 1884. Clemens was alive during the Civil War. You can't expect this TV show to be like that.
