The same happens regularly with Huckleberry Finn. It's supposed to make us think about what makes a moral man. The N- Jim, who is the lowest of the low and cannot sue or testify or serve as a juror in court, or any of the adults Huck and Jim meet through the novel? The Widow Douglas, Aunt Polly, Judge Thatcher, Pa Finn, the Duke and the Dauphin, Tom Sawyer's Uncle Silas?
Isn't that what that book is supposed to do. Make the reader think about racism and injustice.
