The US was so prejudiced against blacks during WWII it wouldn't allow black soldiers to fight the evil white Nazis.

Factually incorrect. The 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bomber Group were black, as was the 743rd Tank Battalion and the 92nd Infantry Division.

It's true that the US Army, the  USAAC/USAAF, and the Navy practiced institutional bigotry against minorities, but it is definitely not true that blacks weren't permitted to fight the NaZis.  They did, with great distinction.

  The only reason black troops were allowed to fight the Nazis was when the Army had severe manpower shortages in certain areas.  It was not official policy.  

"For James Strawder, one of more than 2,000 black soldiers who answered Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's call for black volunteers to replace white soldiers killed during the Battle of Bulge, the final indignity came after Germany's surrender, when the volunteers were immediately transferred back to all-black labor units as their white comrades in arms were being sent home or given more dignified assignments."

The US treated white Nazi soldiers better than it treated its own black troops.  It was two racist regimes fighting each other to see who was going to be the top racist.  The title went to the US.

And it was white Americans that kept blacks in slavery and under rigid Jim Crow laws yet the black guy is supposed to be all indignant that white Nazis killed white Jews who were classified as legitimate domestic enemies of Germany.  

Now if Diaz had been a black guy in WWII Nazi Germany the Nazis would most likely have shot him without a second thought.  But if he had been a black man in the South during WWII chances are he would have been lynched for "not knowing his place".  But since he's a black guy in New York some trigger happy cop will most likely shoot him and get away with it because he dares to walk down the city streets.

No argument with this.
