My uncle, a white guy, was KIA WW2 ETO. He was in an armored division which is 17,000 men. Looking at Signal Corps photos in the history books of his division, I have seen 3 blacks. The rosters show, Polish, French, Spanish, German, etc surnames. There was one American Indian in his company [280 men] and one Chinese. Do you want history or a black ex football player running at a MG nest to take it out.

And probably for the wrong reasons..
I want history..
No fake football heroes taking out machine guns, but real, historical representation..
There was no need for Clint to artificially emphasize the participation of blacks, or latinos in the movie, but there was also no need to completely exclude them either..
Either way is wrong..
