Anyone else notice that today's wikipedia featured pic is four white guys lowering a black guy into a hole?
A U.S. Army infantryman is lowered into a Viet Cong tunnel to perform an underground search and destroy mission during the Vietnam War. These soldiers, known as tunnel rats, were equipped usually only with a handgun and flashlight, and besides enemy forces, faced booby traps and natural dangers such as snakes, scorpions, spiders and insects.

Tunnel rats were generally men of smaller stature and almost exclusively White or Hispanic soldiers and the majority of American Hispanics were Puerto Rican or Mexican-American.[1]
