Dead on. That is what happened in Vietnam. The liberals claimed white kids got college deferments while black kids got drafted, yet, that isn’t what the numbers show. The numbers show blacks were perfectly proportionally drafted as were the whites.
You’re right, about the ratios, and I was in the Army during the early phases of Vietnam (1966)
I’d always thought it was disproportionate, but on reflection,
later realized that through basic training, I just had not been around so many blacks, and it seemed out of whack. Years later I read the actual statistics, and they supported what you just said about proportion.
