Excuse me? Do they not count "white" an ethnic group? This doesn't make a lick of sense to me, probably for good reason.
More than 500,000 Hispanics fought in the war, and Hispanics have earned more Medals of Honor than any other ethnic group, said League of United Latin American Citizens national President Rosa Rosales.
I doubt Rosa Rosales thinks whites are anything but an inconvenience.
Wrong on two counts. I just don't buy the 500,000 number. Approximately 16 million Americans served in uniform during WWII. Hispanics made up around 1.5% of the 130 million Americans, which equates to 1,950,000. When you take into account that half of the number were women and then allow for age, i.e., the number of men between the ages of 18-30, there is no way 500,000 served even if some women are added who could have served in the WACs, WAVEs, etc.
