This was considered a classic years ago and Im pretty sure it wasn't a classic because of the word that they changed in it. Maybe you like to read N*gger, Sp**k, M*nkey and other words when they refer to others but you could try and put yourself in their shoes and understand they shouldn't have to put up with it. If you use words that a commonly used for all people like Punks I can understand where you would say that we have become PCP's because it doesnt refer to any race. I don't care if you call me a word that you would call your cousin but at least try and understand it doesn't make people PC pussies because they dont want to be called a racial slur or even hear it....now back to the Chiefs.

I am not suggesting that the use of the word is okay.
I am suggesting that censoring the word in a book is pussified.
My grandfather was Mexican, and I didn't like it any better than you in your situation when someone used the word "w*tback".
But I am not going to support the idea of censoring a word in a book simply because it isn't pc.
