“The war” is not about the minority groups that fought in World War two. It presents as many live testimonies as possible from the survivors of a disappearing generation. In the name of some twisted notion of diversity and entitlement, the documentary is called biased because soldiers of Hispanic origins that made the biggest fighting minority of the US Army don’t have the second biggest “air time” in the movie. This is not affirmative action and nowhere is it written that anything that is displayed, filmed or written should embrace every single thin skinned citizen that makes the angry fabric of our society.
What is next? The Gay community is going to call for a boycott of the movie, women, Italians, war dogs? What about the proud 442nd Regimental Combat Team of the United States Army, a unit uniquely composed of Japanese Americans who fought in Europe and never got reparations? Maybe the “Latino” community – and others – should make their own documentary to preserve their heritage. I made my mind up and won’t watch “The war” because it completely ignores the US soldiers from French ancestry. I know racism when I see it and this is as anti-French as it could be!
