Do you think the works of Mark Twain should be censored?

No. The similar phenomenon was just happen in my country (Malaysia) in which a word from a notable National Laureate's work was changed. The book is a historical fiction written about forty years ago. In this case, it is the p' word that refer to the lowest social class of the Indians society which means 'untouchable'. The usage of the word in the book also is not for racism purpose but it is a historical fact that the status really exist at that time.
