What's next, are we not going to have a Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday and change it to a "Civil Rights Day" so that white people who lost their life during the struggle won't feel left out? (Yes, for all you uninformed people alot of white people died during the civil rights struggle)

BTW, in some places it is called Civil Rights Day.
Also, it should be noted that none of the "represented races" were consulted before this decision was handed down. It was the decision of the Higher Ups in the Fire Department as well as the people commissioned to do the statute. So no one asked them to change it from the picture.
The sad part is the actual lack of true diversity in the department would have made it a rare occasion for firemen of three different races to be photographed side-by-side.
And truly, I think the re-imaging is the real politically incorrect thing. It turns a blind eye to the real lack of diversity and trivializes it.
The re-imaging is indeed a bad idea. The question is, what are they going to do now with a "realistic"
statue that skews reality.
Its a dark day when
this passes for racial "sensitivity" and honoring heroes.
Well....
