Racism in Huckleberry Finn

Instead, Twain showed how racism and slavery was wrong in very subtle ways. Twain never comes out blatantly saying that racism is wrong, he uses little examples that usually have to be interpreted to find their true meaning. ... Twain constantly employs satire through Huck, many racist things he says are actually meant to be poking fun at racism.
