Nash's writing comes from his own time and his own culture. It's true that some of it might be less than acceptable by today's standards, but I'd guess there are written works out there from many eras which, for a variety of reasons, seem unacceptable or a little strange when viewed under today's microscope.

Definitely, some people want to edit Huck Fin because of the language present in the book.
