Bugger
Maybe Peter Jackson can do two versions one for the PC amongst us and one for the rest of the world
(sorry to those of you who think that Nigger should stay Nigger)
I'm not very PC about these sort of things.
My feeling is this is sort of revisionist history is Bollocks.

I don't know - they should just leave history alone and call the dog 'Here Boy'...

The DVD I have uses the historically correct name.

This is not the first time this has happened. They did the same thing to "Gone With The Wind".

History is History. Leave it alone.

That`s just political correctness gone crazy ! - even black people i know use the " N word ", If you`ve ever seen performances of Chris Rock even he uses it.
In his routine he uses it to describe black people like white people use the term redneck (to describe a person with a low I.Q.) so if you have to play with it to stop upsetting certain minorities that`s just pathetic.
For the record i`m married to a lady from a mixed raced family so i detest racism as much as the next person.
