Tarzan edits
I reverted your additions to the article, expressing your disagreement with the cited author who found Tarzan racist. Though I do not agree with her, her work is published and can be cited, where yours (as far as I know) has not been. This is the way of Wikipedia. Unless you can cite it, it is opinion and/or original research. Sir Rhosis (talk) 20:33, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

M'lord (BTW, how's the liver?), That's cool, I completely understand. I disagree with her, I said what I had to say, and it's off my chest. Only those who've never read the books will be affected by her opinion, those who have, will know better. Mark Twain's "Huck Finn" is thought to be racist as well, by virtue of Twain's frequent use of the term, "nigger," but a real reader of Twain can see that Huck is a product of his time, yet despite that, in his growing relationship with the slave, Jim, Huck struggles throughout the story with what his society taught him to believe about black people, and the truth of his own observations of Jim's behavior that completely contradict those beliefs. Some see what's there, others see what they want to see; my couple of paragraphs were never likely to change that, but thanks for the update. By your leave, M'lord.... [Bill D. Slaughter]Bill D.
