Subject: RE: Are racist, but traditional, songs OK?

off-topic,but- MtheGM's post about "Oliver Twist" reminded me that the one time I read Oliver Twist, (after I'd visited the Jewish Museum in Sydney for a history unit on Genocide in Year 10) I couldn't get past all the references to "the Jew". Why did Dickens do that?
