Full 30 min film: A Welcome to Britain, 1943
After being reminded of incidents where US soldiers started riots in allied countries due to racism (UK, Aus, NZ), I wondered if there were any surviving videos briefing soldiers on race relations outside the US.
This pub clip is not about race at all, but I found it interesting, and as someone who has seen many a stereotypical “loud American” tourist, relatable.
(For an example of a racial diversity training, see that full film link, starting from 25:19


The US barely allowed black people to serve in combat roles in WW2 because of its racism, why would the US have cared? The US would have been proud of that racism and segregation at the time, especially the people in power in the US.
