A comment on A Fistful of Tropes. Parent comment
You apparently missed the explicit references to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_Detroit_riot and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_Newark_riots
both of which have been cited by Romero as events he watched while writing the film. I'm guessing that perhaps you skimmed over those and mentally bundled them in with the Kent State shootings as "obviously Vietnam war"?
