We just simply didn't care, we cared if the guy sitting next to you in the trench could be counted on when the bullets started to fly.
And racists, give me a break, serving in uniform made a lot of us color blind and race blind.
I hate the stereotype of all soldiers as knuckle dragging racist homophobes. Do they have representation, sure they do, the same as civilians.
I will state that the guys that were racists or made jokes outside of the realm of the usual out there soldier humor didn't last long in units with different races.
