Right! I forgot about his writings on Indians. Not Twain's finest. I wonder why TFA doesn't mention this, instead of going on an irrelevant tangent about the Confederacy? I have to say I do think Twain's writings about Indians are racist (so yeah, point taken) but always couched in ambivalence; some of it for example looks like exaggeration to ridicule the poetic "Noble Savage" of Fenimore Cooper and others, which is also bullshit (and unfortunately, lives on to modern age, "Dances With Wolves" et al). But yeah, I admit I forgot about the Indians.
