Answer:

African American men, though they still experienced racism, were treated with more respect as fighting in a war for one's country gains anyone respect. But at the same time not all African American men served in the war. Some stayed home and took up the jobs that white men left when they went to fight in the war. So when all the white men came back racial violence ensued. So, it was a bit of both some saw African Americans more as just Americans others continued to see them as inferior. Then for minorities, such as Hispanics, Native Americans, and Italians the war did the same for them . If they served they were seen as heroes while also being attacked for their contributions.
