I can respect that, but then the problem is we're continuing the wrong we're supposed to have placed in the past, which impacts more innocents. All people would be better off to stop playing identity politics and simply be human.
All depends on the situation. Any individual can indeed be a victim, but the problem is that all too many of all types resort to doing so when they feel it's in their benefit. Unfortunately, it's to the point where it's the go-to excuse today when anyone even feels slighted. The country will be in much better shape when the "content of one's character" finally and genuinely means something and is taken to heart. As to the OP question, I wasn't aware the children depicted are meant to be of any race, but his concern highlights the problem of catering to certain individuals; someone is always going to feel left out, and is why returning to generic representations is probably best for everyone.
Thank you, and very nice! The 2C in particular is quite pleasing and an excellent example of what could be.
We don't owe them either. I see people not color. As far as designs go you'd have to take that up with the mint and CCAC. I know where oldvet is coming from. The Worm Has Turned.
Don't let this thread turn bad for someone, stay on the coin! By the way, anyone who hasn't yet read the rules, it would be a good thing to do. have a nice evening.
Thanks for posting the image (had not seen it before) - cannot really determine any specific ethnicity here. I see a girl on one side, and a family of five on the other. Now we could ask why the name of the organization is still "Boystown" and not Kidstown or Familytown. Well, quite a few possible reasons, but I suppose that both the initiative and the designer wanted to emphasize that Boystown is not just about boys. (Similarly, a while ago I visited the Homeboy Industries HQ in Los Angeles, and the name came up in conversation. Well, it is an established name that they don't really want to "dilute" even though they care for girls/women too.) As for the Civil Rights Act coin, in my opinion the design reflects the reason for that law. On a coin commemorating women's voting rights, for example, I would expect women. Even though the idea was to have equal voting rights, complaining about the lack of men on such a piece would be strange in my opinion ... Christian
Most likely, since it's a commemorative, the charity had input into the design and wanted to stress their present mission of helping entire families. They've kept the name because it has tremendous recognition. Much simpler than imagining a conspiracy...
