Why were all the holograms African-Americans?

Okay, I'm sure I'm not the only fan who's wondered this...why were all of the holograms Black people?

Also, when I first watched "THX 1138" this past week (yes, I'm a new fan!), I at first thought Don Pedro Colley's character was crazy for thinking himself a hologram...but now I'm not so sure. Was he actually supposed to be a hologram within the context of the film?

What are your opinions?

Careful, Lavender; you're venturing into territory you may not want to go into. Hollywood is a Leftist institution and you dare not challenge the wisdom of it's directors, producers and writers when it comes to their hypocrisy on race.

Well, at least I'm not a Leftist.
