The fact of the matter is that, in the USA, any mention of any minority (aka non-white) historical figure or group of people, by persons not in that group, is guaranteed to cause someone to be offended.
I must admit that it is totally beyond my understanding how one can waste so much thoughts on the *possibility* of offending someone with something, that almost anyone would consider an honour, while at the same time accepting a *military attack* on foreign countries.
Not that I feel that *you* are thinking this. Talking about the majority of people in the US. Just to express how puzzled I am on this discussion, being
an "old" european.
