Description
Mark Twain is a problematic figure today because of his attitudes towards racial minorities. He grew up surrounded by the institution of slavery, and as he wrote, 'saw nothing wrong with it', and accepted it as 'natural'. He was able, however, to rise above his own limitations and create sympathetic portrayals. This essay is an example of this ability. He considers the plight of Chinese immigrants to the United States in a sensative manner.
