who fought in the war, either. Or Poles, Greeks, Chinese, or Scandinavians.

It would be interesting to see statistics on the percentages of different ethnic groups living in the U.S. at the time, and the percentage serving in the WWII. There may have been a large Latino population in Sacramento at the time, but how many Latinos were living in the entire U.S. compared to other ethnic groups in other regions of the country? It's likely that the entire population of the Southwest and California was dwarfed by the rest of the country. I don't have an answer, but I do think a broader perspective is necessary. Burns made a mistake, but he corrected it. Maybe we should be lobbying for him to include the other ethnic groups he overlooked if our concern is truly about fairness.

When I mentioned this thread to Mr. Z. last night, his comment was, "Well, it's typical of Democrats to turn on their own."
