Rangel has a history of racism against whites. One of his better ones:
In 2003, Rangel said a draft would make the military more representative of the American public at large, that "the poor, black and brown shouldn’t be the only Americans fighting and dying in Iraq", and that "Fairness dictates that the sons and daughters of the white middle and upper classes share the burden of war"It was pointed out to Rangel that the large majority of those being killed and wounded in Iraq were those same sons and daughters of the white lower, middle and upper classes.
