There were more than half a million African American's that served in Europe during WWII. African American's were mostly given support duties and were not allowed in units with white soldiers. They were classified as unfit. The African American civil rights leaders set up an experiment to see if they could perform military tasks the same as white soldiers. In 200 missions the Tuskegee Airman, black pilots, never lost a bomber. This proved to a lot of people that African Americans could do so. By the time of the Vietnam War, Afriacan American soldiers were making a difference and were working together with the white soldiers.
Asians were not drafted into the army during WWII but many volunteered. Some Americans couldnt tell the Asians apart so they wore buttons saying "i am chinease" so that the Americnas could tell them apart mainly because they looked so much alike. There were two famous groups that the Asians used during WWII in which they became the most decorated units of the entire war. These two groups were the 442nd Regimental Combat Team and the 100th Infantry Battalion. After the war was over the 442nd Regimental Combat Team and the 100th Infantry Battalion became known as "Purple Heart Battalion". There were 9,486 purple hearts awarded to the 100th Infantry Battalion during WWII. During the war several Japannesse- Americans volunteered to be inturpreters in the Pacific Theatre.
