And what "kind of people" would that be?

Marine recruiter Staff Sgt. Jason Rivera went to a Pittsburgh home to talk to the parents of a high school student who had expressed interest in joining the Marine reserves.

It was a large home in an upscale suburb just north of the city. There were two American flags in the yard. The student's mom opened the door wearing an American flag t-shirt.

"I want you to know we support you" she gushed.

Rivera soon realized just how far her support went.

"Military service isn't for our son. It isn't for our kind of people" she said.

How much do you want to bet that there is a W sticker on her SUV?

Right on, John.

And besides the Double-U on her essuvee, I'd bet her "kind of people" aren't anywhere near the color of cannon fodder, either.

And what, pray-tell, did SSgt. Rivera say to that? "Yes, ma'am, you are so white, I mean, right."
