A source for "inductions into military" (apparently voluntary) for minorities in WWII is at Source1,apparently the military. It says what percent the numbers are... A little math and you have the full number.
As for the other statistics (Death, etc) they vary widely (shown in Sources 2, 3, and 4).
"The Coast Guard, however, drafted relatively few men, issuing calls for a mere 22,500 and eventually inducting only 15,296. But more than 12 percent of its calls (2,500 men between February and November 1943) and 13 percent of all those drafted (1,667) were *****. " [Source5]
"The Navy drafted 150,955 Negroes during the war, 11.1 percent of all the men it drafted." [Source6]
Coast Guard drafts: 1667 * (100/13) = 12,823 total
Navy drafts: 150955 * (100/11.1) = 1,359,955
Sorry, I did not get any "draft" numbers for the Air Force, Marines, or Army. I found these sources by googling the phrase "world war II" and the words "drafted" and "statistics". The later sources were a search limited to the domain "army.mil".
Hope this helps jump start your research.

Noone was drafted durring ww2 at least no one in the united states. People went to suppport there country drafts are imposed only when men are unwilling to serve.
Below there is a link that says men registered(wrote names on paper) but no one was conscripted or forced into joining the service.
p.s. Drafts are diffrent from casualities for all the people who listed deathrates

That is funny, I am watching a documentary on the Military Channel that brought up this very issue a moment ago. The draft was 18 and up. I don't know the top end of it.
