In an effort to make The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn a novel that is politically correct, “Nigger Jim” has been replaced with “Robot Jim.” This cartoon uses ridicule to show that the censorship of the “offensive” aspects of the novel in order to alleviate public outcry actually dehumanizes Jim’s character and changes the entire meaning of the book.
