History is always being rewritten, jack, and I see nothing repugnant or intellectually dishonest in mentioning those who served even if the majority was white in a majority-white nation.

Far better to give tribute to those who served whatever their background than to be politically correct and intellectually dishonest by not mentioning those who didn't want the war and equivocated.

That social history, too. Burns cut a thin slice of the war, small enough to be manageable and large enough to be significant. If he erred by including again the celebrated minorities, better respect for them than remorse.
