Probably George Will or Krathammer suggested that Huck Finn just wouldn't read right if the "N-word" were substituted with the expression "African-Americans".

In fact, that would flip the meaning tremendously inasmuchas it would make the white-racists sound as if they were being polite to their slaves.

Whether there's one, none or a dozen AA kids in the classroom, this is a good piece of literature for them to learn about first hand. After all, Jim is the hero.
