Ethnic minorities in the US armed forces during World War II : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ethnic minorities in the US armed forces during World War II
Ethnic minorities served in the US armed forces during World War II. All citizens were equally subject to the draft. All minorities were given the same rate of pay. The 16 million men and women in the services included over 1 million blacks, along with 10,000 to 20,000 Japanese Americans, Chinese Americans, American Indians, and Filipinos. About 50,000 Puerto Ricans served as well as about 250,000 to 500,000 other Hispanics. Group totals for European ethnic groups were not officially tabulated. They were released from service in 1945-46 on equal terms, and were eligible for the G.I. Bill and other veterans benefits on a basis of equality. Many veterans, having learned organizational skills, and become more alert to the nationwide situation of their group, became active in civil rights activities after the war. ==Hispanics== (詳細はHispanic Americans, also referred to as Latinos, served in all elements of the American armed forces in the war. They fought in every major American battle in the war. Between 250,000 and 500,000 Hispanic Americans served in the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II, out of a total of 16,000,000. Most were of Mexican or Puerto Rican descent.〔(World War II By The Numbers ), The National World War II Museum, New Orleans. Retrieved on August 22, 2007.〕 They constituted 2.3% to 4.7% of the total who served. The exact number is unknown as, at the time, Hispanics were not tabulated separately, but were generally included in the general white population census count. Separate statistics were kept for African Americans and Asian Americans.〔
