Perhaps, but not as disproportionate as often assumed.

The pungent phrase in Hair "The Vietnam War was black men killing yellow men to save the land the white man took from the red man*" was more accurately "Young American men fighting yellow men to save French interests** and the WWII generation's ego*** from destruction."

* Excellent propaganda that, but wrong.
** Notably, Michelin rubber and the Catholic elite.
*** The "Generation Gap" was a very real thing.
