I served for 39 years. I never saw any racial discrimination in all that time. It also appears that gay people kept their habits hidden, so I never saw any of discrimination on that subject; the fact that homosexuality was forbidden meant I never saw it. But I do agreed that the Service's attitude towards females was mixed; they were sometimes given preferential treatment and often used their sexuality to further their careers. Of course, that did not apply for all women. However, I never observed any significant discrimination of any kind and am positive that racial discrimination did not exist. Just my viewpoint of a period 1964 - 2003.
