I am a 75yr old white female. I like this post ,except for the fact there are no people of color and only 1 person that may be hispanic in this production. Disappointed. Please do better!!
Naybe it is tie to top nitpicking problems and support Democracy and Constitution as America rather than looking for the right number of faces in the crowd. It is time to acknowledge what we support rather than how many of us fit the numbers.
I think there was one Black woman on her own, but I agree not enough. I suspect this was made in Maine, because there were no Southern voices either, and maybe that accounts for it...
This is a long project, expected to conclude in August. I am looking forward to seeing/hearing many voices from all walks of life, representing our diverse Americans.
I'm a 78yr old white female and if I recall correctly, these videos were made by people who volunteered to record themselves. I agree that it's sad that so few people from groups you were looking for volunteered,...
HCR & co, thank you SO MUCH for this educational, fun, inspiring and hope-filled series. This one gave me tears. Kudos to you and your team. God BLESS you all and the USA. Happy 250th y’all!!! 🇺🇸🧨💜
I am a 79 yr old white female. As several others have mentioned, this is a great post except for the fact that it is almost exclusively white. Census estimates report that non-Hispanic whites are now about 58% of the population. I am surprised you would produce a video that doesn't reflect this reality. I hope you will do better in future videos.
Thank you for your response. I never considered retribution. But now I understand your concern. It's sad to think in this day that would still be a consideration.
I had been depressed this morning on this 250th anniversary because our country seems to be in such a sad state of affairs. However, after watching this video, I feel at least a small ray of hope!
A number of people have mentioned the lack of diversity in this video. I wonder if that reflects a lack of diversity in this substack’s current audience.

The point is that we need to show that people of all ethnicities are proud Americans!
I think the folks who are not white like me are extremely *brave* to be included in this video, and I honor them for it.
? Why? Please explain.
Given these times, I think they could be targeted for retribution.

There’s an Asian, two or more Hispanics and a Black woman. Perhaps not enough but not none

Thank you for this series. This video was surprisingly moving...brought tears to my eyes.
I absolutely agree. The entire series has been delightful, informative, and inspiring!

Why so many white people?
That's who volunteered.
Very hopeful, thank you.
Also, I don't see many young men, of any color.
Where were the people of color in this? I know they are not at the protests (for good reason), but this was not representative of America.
This video gives me so much hope. And I’ll admit a few tears. Happy Fourth everyone. Please try to see the positive in our world.

Weird, only one black person! Do it over, include more color!!!!!
We are American’s hope in troubling times.

Heather always makes me feel more hopeful!

American of Mexican descent here — I wondered the same
>sigh<
in the minority(?) . . . again
Love this! Gave me good goosebumps!
Please get children in this cast of Americans!
