Because sometimes, in the noise, we miss the signal.

Lifted this from Facebook:

"This is America, where a white Catholic male Republican judge was murdered on his way to greet a Democratic Jewish woman member of Congress, who was his friend. Her life was saved initially by a 20-year-old Mexican-American gay college student, and eventually by a Korean-American combat surgeon, all eulogized by our African-American President." -- Mark Shields, PBS

I hadn't realized Dr. Rhee was a Navy doctor and combat surgeon. And cute, too!

But your larger point is, indeed, well taken.

Yes, this. And not one of them talking about "real Americans" at any point.
