My God, what an un-issue.
Q: Why on earth would they want to change the race of the firefighters?
A: There are a number of hispanic and african-american firefighters who also gave their lives and were real heroes that day.
The attempt to salute them and recognize the efforts of eveeryone who was a hero that day is commendable IMHO. If people think it is so much of an issue then they should find another picture to make a statue out of, one that would not spark such an....intense response.
