The Chinese laborers who built the US railroads in the latter end of 1800s for example, rarely ever get mentioned except in few PBS documentaries maybe. Same with the Navajo code talkers during WWII, the native American iron workers who built NY's empire state bldg and the Brooklyn bridge, and the many many notable Hispanics who've made significant contributions in science, the arts, etc. whom we don't often hear of.
