Agree with SFP, the time period had nothing to do with it.
My point is that the guy who directed it also wrote it. So the point that the director is making is his own personal view or allegory of discrimination.
Yet in the movie the are almost no black people. Just seems weird. Maybe the director didn't want us to muddle our (the audience's) opinions with his allegory of genoism so he gave very few roles to non-whites.

Seriously? You took what I said to mean Hollywood refused to hire black people at all? So are you saying that you also think a central message of Gattaca was white power as opposed to the movie's whiteness being a reflection of the casting environment of the time?
