There were 6.5 million women working in defense plants, shipyards and aircraft assembly plants in the US. Hispanic-Americans had between 250,00 and 500,000 uniformed servicepersons. Women in Uniform totaled 350,000 including 4,000 blacks. Japanese Americans had 33,000 join the military and 1.2 million black men answered the call to arms. Other nations like the USSR had women combat pilots, assault troops and snipers.

It depends on which war, but both subgroups have contributed to war efforts extensively, directly (by being pilots, soldiers, or medical personnel attached to the military), or indirectly (factory workers making munitions or other war-related products, or people at home knitting socks for soldiers or even politicians working to support the war effort).
