Coast Guard under fire for saving too many straight white males
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — For some people, it looked like the Coast Guard was having a good year: 200 lives saved, more than 3,800 lives assisted and roughly $5.3 million in property saved. That is until independent blogger Caden Dakota pointed out the Coast Guard’s fatal flaw: The service mostly saved straight white males.
Dakota, a social activist and professional tweeter, launched his critique on Twitter by pointing out that he was triggered by a recent report showing that that there weren't enough LGBTQ rescues.
"The Coast Guard didn't save a single gay person in 2016 #WhiteGuard," he tweeted. He also mentioned that the Coast Guard’s use of the phrase “man overboard” was extremely sexist.
