...this sort of makes my point. It's just a song. Whether it's altered at all, or by whom, isn't anything that will legislatively impact anybody, from what I've read. It's not like saying we're going to change the value of state currency, and say have a dollar's value be x for whites, x+1 for AfAms, or x+2 for Latinos, etc...
It's an anthem. People feel (or don't feel) a sense of veracity about the song based on their experiences in this country. ...I'd think the administration ought to start worrying when immigrants (and others) stop wanting to sing the song, whatever its translational alteration.
