Afwan (you're welcome).  Will mention in passing that Lady Liberty is technically a fictional character, in that she doesn't really exist.  She (it's) a statue, not a person.  Various cliches such as tempest in a teapot, much ado about nothing, etc. come to mind concerning this issue.  I weighed in mostly because certain folks (not including your esteemed self) carry all cranky anytime American symbolism embraces images of folks what ain't white.  In my view the only significance of coinage is whether they can buy me coffee and such...
