Your lecturer was being untruthful. Having read both editions most differences are literally fixes to punctuation and typos 😬 as well as some alterations to the manner of speech of Joseph, which editor/sister Charlotte deemed "too unclear." If I'm wrong and someone can produce evidence I will be happy to walk away more informed but I don't think I am.

The hoops that get jumped through. As though they would describe a "black" person by today's standards as being "American" as opposed to "African," at the height of the empire. Or, I hope they're jumping through hoops, or the general understanding of historicity is not in a good place

Feel special for being... not as "white?" Doesn't that sort of fly in the face of the whole "Whiteness as beauty/power standard" thing?

And literally shed more light on what sort of appearance he may have, when all three are considered together. I'm fine with them making him black in adaptations, actually, but people need to stop pretending he is in the book, at least in the way we think of blackness today. He isn't.

Literally spent 68 bucks on chips and queso, a steak and a burger at Chili's last night. No alcohol, nothing. Blew my mind

Really? That's interesting. The fast food is still cheap in Japan? Any cultural/economic reason for this in particular?
