WHY IS IT NECESSARY TO CHANGE RACES? OR EVEN INDICATE RACE?

Unbelievable to me that, in this day and age, we even consider this as an issue - make them out of bronze, hell don't even put faces on them so as to eliminate gender - that's NOT THE POINT.

Not even close - think about it.

Represent the US as a whole? OK, fine - also, let's pretend we've reached a higher plateau of civilization, and not make race an issue.
Oh, never mind, never mind! I got the full story on it from "The View" 10 minutes ago. I read Beef's story entirely wrong, I thought it would be a statue of some random firefighters. Turns out to be a stature from actual firefighters in a real photograph (shoot me, I haven't been following the news at all!). In that case, the races of the men should reflect those actual men in the photograph and not be changed. My bad!
