    Literally everyone alive in the 70s, made some sort of comment, which could be considered racist in today's climate...

    I read the entire article many years ago. Much of what John Wayne said has been taken out of context. I seriously doubt he was racist. Strong opinions about things, and not politically correct in any way, but not racist IMO.

    Sister took me to John Wayne to catch a plane
    When I saw the art deco terminal I said wait this is what I grew up calling Hollywood Burbank Airport. She says new name. I say how come JW has been gone since 1979
    I know we did not leave the San Fernando Valley
    But times change and that stupid effed up Cali is always doing something different.
    Sister says see you next trip. Don't hurry back, and we know you liked the subway. Walking away, saying wow is he an as&hole lets get coffee.
    So the years may have left my memory behind. That's ok, it's Cali and I don't care. Unless I want to rant. The google will clear up everything from California.

    Hate to say it but she was wrong. John Wayne isn't in the Valley, it's in Orange County.

    It's been John Wayne Airport since '79.

    Burbank is still known as Hollywood Burbank Airport and used to be Bob Hope.
