66. I have a bone to pick with Ken Burns. He films a world without
Latinos.

He's systematically excised us from all his work -- notably his jazz doc and now the WW2 doc. I don't get it. It's sort of weird.

My brother is a working jazz musician and it's weird to me that Burns sort of can't see the immense contribution of Latinos to jazz. And for him to white out Latinos that served in WW2 is more than strange, especially when one of the focal points of his new WW2 doc is SACRAMENTO.
