“And, of course, people of color serve disproportionately in the armed forces.. . That has certainly not been true of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.”
It’s never been true. Look at race of casualties in Vietnam.
Race and Ethnicity Number Killed
White 47,041
Black 7,241
Hispanics 3,070
Pacific Islanders
and Native Hawaiians 229
Native Americans 226
Unknown 204
Asians 139
The only minority group of people with a greater percentage serving that White Anglo Saxon Protestants -— were Jews.
In short, all the race B.S. people talk is wrong.
Great post. Thank you!
