Because whoever commissioned this statue is a racist and 3 white people holding the flag isn't good enough for them. They don't want 3 'UGLY', 'stinking', 'pot bellied', WHITE men making the statue look bad....we must HUMILIATE the white men who really raised the flag by turning their faces black and hispanic. We must make them realize that their race is unimportant, that they should have only 'guilt' about their race and that they DO NOT DESERVE TO BE PORTRAYED AS THEY ARE BECAUSE OF THEIR WHITE SKIN.
