In South Pacific, the troops on the island have seen no fighting. It's only late in the second act that they are about to be actively involved in combat for the first time. So unless there was an accident or an outbreak of a fatal disease or something like that, no one was in danger of dying.

Doing a search, I came across this article, which does suggest some answers to your questions, although I can't swear that it's entirely accurate. But at least it's not wikipedia. :) And it does align with what I'm finding in a few other articles I've read or skimmed that came up in a duckduckgo search on segregation in the u.s. military world war ii.

That was really interesting...thanks for finding that. The treatment of black service members in WWII was an embarrassment to the country.
