The firefighters who raised the flag over the rubble of the World Trade Center were all white (and more than likely Irish, read: "Oh, Danny Boy") BUT... "More recently, we have seen ugly conflicts over political correctness and moral worth. A memorial statue of the three firefighters who, Iwo Jima-like, raised the American flag at the smoldering site, was redesigned to honor the city's ethnic diversity, even though these firefighters were all white, like most of the Fire Department."
