Franklin D Roosevelt refused to sign an anti-lynching law
in the 1930s. Harriet Tubman thought homosexuals would all
burn in hell, Caesar Chavez was staunchly anti-illegal
alien.

Liberal politicians and their idiotics.

“I thought he loved Mexican women?”

Yeah, at least three of them.

Plus Scandinavian women since he had an affair with Greta Garbo

The racism allegation is just the usual mud-slinging. The real reason why left-coast types dislike John Wayne? He was know to punch commies in the face.

“...As the final vote was tallied, Harper complained, “the orthodoxy of political correctness has prevailed.”...”

Amazing.

It is important for a conquering people to disparage the heroes of the vanquished. In addition the victors rename various monuments dear to the vanquished; i.e. “Denali,” in place of Mount McKinley; Streets and other structures such”Chavez,” “King,” “Parks,” and other nothings. Eliminated are heroes of the former governors; i.e. Andrew Jackson, Nathan Bedford Forrest; Robert E. Lee, any “Old White Guy.” etc. etc.

In June 1966, John Wayne stopped by to visit Special Forces Operational Detachment A-323 at Camp Trai Bi, Vietnam when he was in country gathering details for his upcoming movie "The Green Berets."

He had a beer with us and visited for a while before he departed. He was one of us.

Yeah, Wayne was so racist he wore a Montagnard bracelet in every film after The Green Berets. Is this assemblywoman really from California?

The only racism here is by some bigoted La Raza member hating on a loyal and patriotic American.

Sorry Lorena but we won and you lost and California is a better place for it. Go check out the San Pasquel Battlefield which is near your district.

From A Gil Blas in California, by Alexandre Dumas (1852)

In the meanwhile, after enduring unbelievable fatigue and suffering time and again for the lack of prime essentials, Colonel Kearny, with his 100 men, marched over the Rocky Mountains, crossed the sandy plains of the Navajo Indians, passed the Colorado, , after traveling through the lands of the Mohave Yuma Indians finally reached Agua Caliente.

Upon arriving he fell in with a small troop of Americans, commanded by Captain Gillespie, who told him definitely what was taking place in California and warned him that ahead of him was a troop of seven or eight hundred men commanded by General Andres Pico, who was in control of the country. Colonel Kearny counted his men. There were only 180 all told, but they were resolute and well-disciplined soldiers. He then gave the order to march on the enemy. Americans and Californians clashed on December sixth out on the plain of San Pasqual.

The engagement was terrific; for a time the small American forces were defeated and nearly routed. Ultimately, however, they were victorious. Colonel Kearny, who from then on was made general, received two wounds, and had two captains, one lieutenant, two sergeants, two corporals, and ten dragoons killed. The Californians, on the other hand, lost two or three hundred soldiers. [This is exaggerated. The losses of the Californians were probably slight.]

The following day, a detachment of marines sent by Commodore Stockton joined Kearny whom they had been sent out to meet. Thus reinforced they continued to march on toward the north. On December eighth and ninth, he had two more clashes with the Californians but in these engagements, as in the first battle, he emerged victorious. At the same time Castro, now a fugitive, encountered Captain Fremont, and after being surrounded by him, capitulated. A few Californian troops still remained in the vicinity of Los Angeles.

“Waynw Ransh” is how you pronounce it after having too many drinks at the Wayne Ranch!
