Ethan Wayne " My father John Wayne is not Racist"
This statement he made 49 years ago has prompted the Orange County to pass a resolution calling out John's racist comment and demanding that John Wayne's airport be renamed.
The family's spokesman Ethan Wayne said .."There is no question that the words spoken by John Wayne in an interview 50 years ago have caused pain and anger. They pained him as well, as he realized his true feelings were wrongly conveyed."
Ethan says his it would be an "injustice" to judge John based on a single interview and says the big picture paints a much different picture of dad, who he says "called out bigotry when he saw it."
