The correct answer is C) the wars against discrimination at home and against the axis powers.

The "two wars" that were fought by the Tuskegee Airmen during World War II were the wars against discrimination at home and against the axis powers.

The Tuskegee Airmen participated in World War II. They were African American pilots that studied at Tuskegee College nad enrolled in the United States Airforce to fight for their country. Those fighters did not receive the proper recognition at that time due to racial segregation issues. That is why the quote says that they were fighting in World War II, but also the were fighting in their own country the racial segregation issues that affected them.
