The 🏝️ Of Relevancy
As the recent uproar over Starbucks' apparently not-festive-enough holiday cupshas demonstrated, a contingent of right-leaning Americans has taken to bemoaning what they perceive as the country's downward death spiral at the hands of political correctness.



Their latest target? Wednesday's Google Doodle, which celebrates Veterans Day. Visible on the search engine's homepage, the Doodle depicts a row of smiling veterans representing various branches of the U.S. armed forces.

Some critics take issue with the apparent ethnicities of the veterans depicted. Of the seven veterans in the cartoon, six appear to be people of color, and one is light-skinned. Critics say the Doodle fails to represent the many white veterans in America. Moreover, one person wrote, Google is "unfairly trolling" these white veterans by highlighting ethnic minorities.



A number of people have taken to Twitter to express their Doodle-focused disgust.

One critic even brought Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump into it:
