197. What names has he called them?
(Seriously. I don't know.)

What names has he been called?

Respect is a two-way street.

If he put an ad in the Sacramento paper and no one from the Hispanic community came forward, what should he have done? Should he have gone knocking on doors? If he was going to knock on doors looking for one ethnic group in Sacramento, then he would be obligated to knock on doors in the other towns looking for different stories from other ethnic groups.

IF no Hispanic vets came forward the first time around to tell their stories, yet Burns edited his work to include Hispanic vets as a result of objections from and lobbying by Latino groups, he made amends. If he was snippy about it, it may very well have been the result of having to change his work (art?), which isn't claiming to be encyclopedic, after the fact. (Because Hispanic vets didn't come forward in the town of Sacramento when he was gathering stories.)
