B) After World War II, Mexican Americans experienced very little discrimination in hiring, housing, and education, although activists still fought for ways to celebrate their culture in everyday society.
C) Hispanic Americans' service in the military during World War II had helped to instill a clearer sense of American identity and to inspire them to pursue equality, for they still often experienced segregation, discrimination, and limited opportunities.
