Excellent. These days major journalists are getting suspended for just referencing or quoting the n-word, and I’ve always thought that in that case copies of “Huckleberry Finn” must have been banned from the building. May as well throw in, or should that be throw out, “The Merchant of Venice” while they’re at it.
Of course. Let’s pretend that people in the middle of the 19th century spoke in accordance with late 20th, early 21st century standards for acceptable speech. We can’t be trusted to know otherwise.

Huckleberry Finn was straight? What was Leslie Fiedler driving at in his essay titled “Come Back to the Raft Ag’in, Huck Honey”?
