I understand why the Latin community put pressure on Ken Burns and PBS to include the sacrifices Latinos made for WWII. It is important, it's a part of our history. I think it's quite overlooked, I know I didn't learn about it specifically in my past History classes.

But I don't think that documentary makers disclude races purposely. I'm thinking they just get focused on showing the American experience in general even though the Latin American, African American, Asian American and Native American experience is somewhat different although they are contributing in the same way, by fighting a war.

The fact that a Native American vet's perspective was included as well as a Latin Americans is a positive outcome. It means that Mr. Burns and PBS got the point that the documentary needed more diversity in general.

In the follow up letter to PBS, the organization mentions that the members were pleased that a Native American was included and that this was part of the groups agenda- to promote all diversity.

Maybe I'm a cynic but I think though that if only more Latino perspectives were included they would have been just fine. I read the 1st letter to PBS and didn't see anywhere about asking for other ethnicities being shown aside from their own.
