Why? They see black people as a novelty

I grew up around countless wealthy racists in Pennsylvania, and he’s right. Doesn’t ruin the movie in any way, but if this were real life, there’s simply no way that they would choose to become what they believe to be genetically inferior. It would be like Hitler choosing to place his brain inside of a Jew’s body. Ain’t gonna happen.

But did they find them to be genetically inferior? I think they saw them to be genetically stronger (although perhaps less intelligent). They just saw them as physically more able.

Plus, Stephen Roots character wanted Chris' eyes. His artistic eyesight. Not surprising at all. Remember during slavery, the racists whites had black mammies breastfeeding their babies and etc. Racists whites have no problem using Black bodies.

Their racism was more like DiCaprio's character in Django Unchained, unlike Hitler's.

Hitled had Jewish ancestry.
He was a Zionist who worked for the creation of Israel.
Just like Bin Laden was a CIA agent , 9/11 done by him was a CIA and zionist scheme.
Where are Hitler's and Bin Ladin's bodies ? No bodies. Suspicious.

They probably also thought it would be easier to get away with because less people pay attention to missing blacks vs whites.

Good point, which I hadn't considered.

I wasn't terribly troubled by the idea of white supremacists using Black bodies in that manner, but rather it was the practical issue of changing identities—shouldn't you pick someone as similar ethnically, in height, weight & other overall physical characteristics in order to be less obvious?
