Daily reminder that SJW's had this book officially renames so they could still praise Agatha Christie as a powerful female writer. They had to perform a bit of doublethink. Otherwise they would have to outcast her because of her racism.

Heгp is still the proper translation for black man according to the Oxford English-Russian dictionary.

On that note, жид (zhyd) is a derogatory term for a Jew in Russian, but proper term in Polish.

Nigger was also a blank neutral word back them when New Age yuppies were yet to give the word an additional meaning.
