All references in Shakespeare to 'Blackamores' will be changed to 'person of a dusky countenance'. Of course this won't change the context or feraal of the original text will it. (That's Irony) The rewriting of history and books to hide past misdemeanours only deprives new generations of the truth of the situation as it was. We have to learn from history or else we are doomed to reapeat it. Will changing this book stop rascism, not likely. Amazing, people actually get paid to do this sort of thing.
