Personally, I am most appalled by the awful Chinese accents in Missee Lee which seem to be very demeaning and yet hardly anyone has mentioned them.
Actually, I suspect that the best way to avoid the perils of a slippery slope would be for the trustees/publisher to pro-actively make the few changes to avoid the potential for worse consequences if someone critical starts hacking at the text.
I do believe though that once people start altering, then offence can be found in a lot of places and the slide will start. So, if alterations there are to be, then it should be done by someone with a sympathetic attitude to Ransome.
