Red Tails and Tuskegee Airmen come to mind as movies based on historical events that showed black Americans in combat. The reason these are exceptional in showing blacks in combat is because it was exceptional for blacks to be used in combat. The units were not integrated then, and almost all combat units were white.
Racism of the period is the primary cause, not racism among modern movie makers.
Also, Tora Tora Tora and that god awful Ben Afleck travesty Pearl Harbor both showed Dorie Miller.

You are really grasping at straws. The reason there are not many African Americans shown in WW2 films is because there were not many allowed to fight on the front.
