Guam - The Commission on Decolonization executive director Ed Alvarez says discrimination is not alive and well on Guam. This is in response to letters written by three members of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights to President Barack Obama and leadership in the House and Senate Judiciary Committees regarding GovGuam's adoption of the voter registration requirement for the plebiscite, which allows only native inhabitants to participate.

They further state that GovGuam is likely in violation of the 15th Amendment and Section Two of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 along with claiming that Guam has "stooped to divvying up its residents by race,"

Alvarez says we're probably the least racist place probably in the U.S. if not the world, stating, "They seem to think that this issue of political status is a domestic one and not international. This is definitely an international issue which is why Guam is still one of 16 countries or island nations still on the decolonization listings of the United Nations."

Representatives from one of the commissioners meanwhile stated they have yet to get a response on their letters but hope the Department of Justice will begin an investigation on the matter.
