WW2 was huge, they seriously couldn't have found anything besides a story about damn mailmen?
If they wanted to tell stories from different perspectives during ww2, they'd be better off making a movie about the North African campaign or the Japanese invasion of SE Asia. Plenty of non Whites fought in both those theaters, especially for the latter.
Hell, look up Lieutenant Adnan who served in British Malaya against the Japanese. I'm sure his last stand would make for a great movie if done right.
But who am I kidding, these studios only want to tell stories that they can twist into going "look, evil whitey".
In a completely neutral setting, this is a decent idea just because its unique while being tied to something bigger. We have a lot of WW2 war movies that cover nearly every genre that have been done better than they ever could, so making that would just be pissing in the ocean. This could at least raise an eyebrow at first glance and that's huge in terms of marketing.
But we know its not a neutral decision and was chosen specifically because of the black and women portion, if that even actually happened, and is going to entirely be some nonsense anti-racism story where black women somehow suffered worse than the men getting shot at.

And, furthermore, if it actually happened, I no longer believe these people to tell the truth about anything, so I'm assuming that this story specifically did not happen.
So their attempt to expose us to 'history,' if it is in fact history, has me making the assumption that they couldn't find anything worth writing about if this was the lie they had to tell.
If a woman claims a guy raped/abused her? I now 100% assume she is trying to manipulate me and/or destroy him, and he now has my support. And it takes considerable evidence to change that.
Any form of "bigotry?" You are either making it up or did something to deserve it.
On and on. In all of these various discussions, they've made me just reject anything they say outright and need a preponderances of evidence to shake that.
And don't forget "We did/invented X" really means that they had a non-essential role that could have been performed by any Tom, Dick, or Harry off the street.
They could have done the WAASPs/WAACs, they could have done the female members of the OSS/SOE, but it's CURRENT_YEAR, so it's gotta be blak wammans, my guy.
They could have just done a reboot of the Tuskegee Airmen, Netflix style: The entire show would be about white men trying to ground them and sabotage their planes. Then as the war in Europe is concluding, the airmen fly to Hitler's bunker just before he suicides. After busting down his door, they say "Black. Lives. Matter." and shoot him with his own gun.
This earns them a visit to the White House. When they enter the Oval Office, they see a black man sitting at the desk with the President standing next to him. The captain says "But, you're not the President!" to which the man replies "The President answers to me. You don't really think a white man would have let you finish off Hitler, do you?" Then everyone in the room raises their fist and shouts "Wakanda forever!"
I was trying to think of a old movie about ww2 I believe. Its centered around a draftee from appalachia. I remember the opening has a quote something like "The scariest men in a war are the quiet nice ones."
I couldnt figure it out, im sure if I remember the name but searching up the premise gave me nothing.
My point being, how many women in ANY of the wars, including modern ones, have been awarded for taking out a entire platoon of enemies to save their squad? Are there even any?
I dont think I have ever heard of a woman jumping on a grenade either? Maybe that was just war propaganda about men anyway?
I seen a comment in r/canada the other day where someone said something along the lines of "i dont care what you are as long as you can push buttons". Implying that the only thing to modern war is staring at a screen.
You still need boots on the ground and it might be a good idea not to alienate what has been typically the main driving force of that. Young white men.

Are you sure it was WW2? Because Sgt. York was from Appalachia, but he was a WW1 hero

That's how I feel about most "claims" now.

With respect to naggers, if I may say that, complaining is endless. I call bullshit on all of it. They are looking for a payout. Esp. the lawyers.

Finally, MY history will be told
That's ridiculous, the Wakanda Forever salute is that arm crossing thing.

No. At least three of them even survived doing it - John Carmichael, Jack Lucas and Kyle Carpenter.
