@@seansmall9910 true, I hate most mainstream movies nowadays with their fake diversity, There are several movies that i really like that have either a female lead or a strong supporting if not leading minority person. They where a good movie because they had a good story not like many from today that scream look at me like this movie my lead/ main support is from minority! An example I always like too use is star trek voyager, female captain, native american second in command, where his heritages is of central importance in several episodes. Halfblood klingon, which in itself is an important struggle for the character in the series. Head of security is of darker pigmentation, is the voice of reason and one of the most important people the captain turns too during moral dilemma's from what i remember. And the series is nothing like look at me the strong female/ any other trope... what the media loves to throw around nowadays. The diversity is there, its natural, it makes sense and has a role in the series itself.

Not a surprise as USAFA is nothing but a school to get athletes not ready for college ready for the actual Academy. Are you gonna tell me they do not have cameras all over that place and know who wrote the messages ? Because of how the Gen presented his tirade he is now stuck and can not announce that the whole thing was a hoax to call attention to the plight of non white.students . The Hazing allegations threw him a lifesaver and allows him to ignore the actual minority students who did this. .. Google Lt Rapone and see how West Point is also a mess.. This is a result of PC and Athletics ruining our Military Academy's
