This is something my father recently shared with me, he was drafted and inducted as Negro, and was in a negro outfit. As time went on he ended up in a predominantly Indian outfit and was actually percieved as Indian by the Indian soldiers in his outfit.If there was any problem , the men would come to him for advice or his help.
He was asked why he hung out with the Black soldiers, and theywould tease him by calling him an Uncle Tommy Hawk. He was well liked and respected. I know the Armed Forces was very much segregated, and can only beleve that this outfit was put together because they shared the same blood type. I am curious has anyone ever heard of any similar situation?
