The article sort of glosses over that white soldiers were also subjected to the same experiments. IOW, the soldiers of color weren’t tested on because they were considered expendable but because they wanted to find out whether there was a differential effect.
It would be interesting to see if they found any. Though I doubt it.
Obviously the studies were unethical, but based on the descriptions they weren’t particularly racist.
Yes I noticed that too how they glossed over thay
Wish I had more info.
