I object to it getting changed because it isn’t true. We are editing history to make it more palatable to a broader audience. If it had been one black man, one hispanic, and one white guy, and the powers that be wanted to make it an all white statue, then I’d still cry foul that they were editing the truth. Am I not smart enough to construe that many people of many colors died that day? You know they died, I know they died- so why change it? The relative whiteness- or nonwhiteness of the rank and file in the NY Fire Dept. is not something I can speak to- other than knowing it’s often a role passed down through families, and maybe the blacks and hispanics haven’t ‘arrived’- and if they truly haven’t – then why pretend that they have?
