Most the Twain stories I read were in Polish and was long ago.
I find it a shame that Twain is being censored. Moreover, don't find offence in words like nigger or negro, especially, in the context authors like Twain and Conrad use them. Perhaps it is because in Polish the tone if often more important than the words used.
Quite the contrary, I find modern terms like African American offensive.
Conrad's first language was actually Polish, I think...wasn't it?
