Little Hawk I agree with what you said about Cuba, admittedly I only went there for the first time last year as a tourist but yes I noticed that there didn't seem to be any friction with anyone at all. Even when some Brits were discourteous and rude (I was really ashamed of thankfully a few for being so rude), they kept their calm and stayed courteous throughout. But the ethnic mixtures in Cuba appeared to get along fine in that particular hotel anyway from the Management, general staff to the dance entertainment. Travelling through the town of Moron it seemed to be friendly enough, but very poor, people have to travel great distances to get work whatever the colour.

Back to political correctness gone too far, how can classic lines of a book be changed? Most people will accept that society was different then and accept it for what it was with the language of the time as we do with Enid Blyton or opt not to read it at all. If teachers are any good at what they do they should be able guide youngsters through it. But going back to the another thread about reading statistics are the general public young or old going to be bothered to read it at all?
