"Anybody who thinks a videogame should center around those who actually fought"
 * Well African-American troops did fight, so I don't see the issue.
 * Also, it's a fucking video game, and a super arcadey one at that. Who gives a shit if it's not 100% true to reality?
 * And part of a reason to tell a story is to shine light on events and perspectives that are commonly overlooked, not to appeal to the majority.

"Majority of Americans who saw combat in WW2 was white - fact."
 * No one ever said it wasn't true.
 * And white Americans weren't the only ones to see combat in WW2 - fact
 * African American troops saw combat in WW2 - fact.
 * Asian American troops saw combat in WW2 - fact
 * Latino American troops saw combat in WW2 - fact
 * Native American troops saw combat in WW2 - fact
 * You shouldn't argue facts if you blatantly ignore the ones that don't align with you.

"And if a game wants to highlight"
 * There was what, one black dude in the trailer? That's not highlighting anything.

"[I]f a game wants to highlight and underline in bold the tiny amount of non-whites who saw combat I just call it pushing an agenda"
 * Because you can only tell stories about the majority of people right? You can never ever tell any other perspective but the white man's without it being propaganda. Who cares about new perspectives and stories from smaller or unknown perspectives? It's not like it can give any sort of insight or a new historical context to an event or anything.

"I just call it pushing an agenda"
 * And what you're doing isn't pushing any agenda? Tad bit hypocritical, don't you think?
