Everyone Under 40 Years Old Is Asking 'Who's John Wayne?'
-
This column proposes that Orange County consider renaming John Wayne Airport because The Duke was pretty racist, homophobic, the whole bit. You know about the Playboy interview that returned to the news recently, and there's plenty more evidence. But he was also a man of his times, and he was posthumously given the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Jimmy Carter, so some folks would say let bygones be bygones. Yet, if you're a member of the groups he disparaged, are you going to be comfortable flying into and out of an airport named for a guy who thought you were inferior? (Orange County Register)
