That’s a bad joke response,
but if the Communists of North Vietnam can rename the former capital of the Republic
of Vietnam from Saigon to Ho Chi Minh City, then the League of United Latin American
Citizens should get its way and have Fort Hood renamed for Roy Benavidez, a
Special Forces medic awarded the Medal of Honor.
LULAC says “it’s time for the
military to start honoring its contemporary heroes.”
Suggestions from Jorge Haynes
of a LULAC council in Texas include “members of the Tuskegee Airmen, a World War II aviation unit comprised
(sic) of African-Americans, and of the 442nd Infantry Regiment, a World War II
unit of Japanese-Americans that went on to become the most decorated in
military history for its size and length of service.”
What
do Haynes’ recommendations have in common? Tuskegee Airmen and soldiers of the 442nd
Infantry were what is referred to these days as “persons of color.” Driven into
the Democratic/Progressive pantheon of victims of white supremacy are American
Indians, some Asians, some Arabs, some Indian subcontinent peoples and others
who aren’t considered white or black by Democrats.
There
was a time when “persons of color” meant only blacks. Politically wise these
days is Democrat/Progressive lumping of all non-whites into the “persons of
color” category, or “us versus them.” Of highest importance to
Democrats/Progressives is the elimination of white contributions to America.
Latinos are white..since there is no "brown race". Race and ethnic background are two different things.
ReplyDeleteI agree. But Democrats have built a wall around people designated not white and termed them all as persons of color. I have never understood why people obviously from European ancestry do not refer to themselves as white.
