Letters: Readers respond to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s report into the unequal commemoration of soldiers in the first world war

Frontier Force and the Carrier Corps given a headstone, as they were considered “heathen” and “uncivilised”. There should be at least 200,000 war graves to these men. It is important that the commission creates new headstones so that the racist construct that the war was a “white man’s war”, where only white soldiers paid the ultimate price, can finally be laid to rest.Racism in the army goes back before the first world war and extends well beyond it.

Republican Tim Scott insists America is NOT racist in GOP responseRepublican Sen. Tim Scott declared that America is 'not a racist country' as he delivered the GOP rebuttal to President Joe Biden's first speech before Congress. TimScottSC would be perfect for this character Tym Scott needs to remove the blinkers that allow him to remain in the GOP. He will say and tolerate anything to stay in the House, it seems. His silence has been 'deafening' and his excuses rather pathetic on so many issues. Oh god, what next. Get over it GOP..🤑👎
