    Why are there no Caucasian boys on the boystown commemorative coins? Who decided that only people of color and girls should be the only representatives on the coins? I thought it was odd when girls were put on the boyscout commemorative, however no boys on the girlscout commemorative. Does anyone else see the problem? Yes I'm white over 65,just curious, there were no whites on the civilrights coins. I just think that all of us should be treated fairly. Thanx, oldvet

    Reverse discrimination. It is pervasive in society these days.

    I didn't perceive that. Perhaps you might want to take a step back.

    @lkeigwin said on collector.com that Boystown helps kids and families, not just young men.

    It's not 1917 anymore.

    Hope I don't get dinged for this, but as a white male myself, I don't think I have any right to complain about anyone discriminating against me. In fact, it is completely ridiculous. I also don't claim to fully understand how women and minorities feel. So, Old Vet, thank you for your service; but women and minorities don't owe us a dang thing, buddy.

    I heard he's really alive and well and thinking of doing a remake of Judgement At Nuremburg (w/o William Shatner ) One of my all time favorites of Tracy.

    Not exactly hard to start a coin collection with white males on them. Thank heavens for Lady Liberty.

    Equality is supposed to mean EQUALITY, my friend... Discrimination isn't something owned only by certain groups regardless of what the self-serving narrative today suggests.

    I get it, but I'm okay if it were to lean in the other direction for a couple hundred years.
