This isn't anti-DEI - it's retelling history as a story with only white men in it. The tale of the Navajo Code Talkers is essential to understanding the Allies' victory in WWII. Removing it because the people involved were non-white is segregationism.

PSA: When media reports on President Trump's expected invocation of Alien Enemies Act, it would be good to remind the reader/listener: The Act also includes summary deportation of permanent legal residents and other immigrants who are lawfully present as well. It's that extreme an emergency power.
