White males make up the vast majority of troops that actually fight in combat--they are overrepresented as compared to their share of the general population. Blacks are slightly overrepresented as compared to their proportion of the general population, however, they tend to take support roles in which they do not face combat. That means doing paperwork, or more technical roles. Asians are greatly underrepresented as a proportion of the population, meaning they do not often volunteer for the military. This goes against the common wisdom which is that minorities bare the burden of fighting, etc.

What Romanian military units were involved in the battle of the bulge?
Romania had surrendered to the Russians in August of 1944, and joined the Allies in September that same year. The Battle of the Bulge began December 16, so there would not be any organized Romanian military units at the Bulge fighting with the Germans. It is also unlikely that the Allied armies contained any Romanian units as their army was not that large and had suffered tremendous losses fighting the Russians. What remained would continue to fight in the east against their former German handlers.
