I don't get why the white family focused solely on blacks. It seems like they wanted the most genetically superior qualities, but those qualities don't necessarily exclusively reside with blacks. In fact, all of the blacks they abducted seemed very normal (not super tall or strong). Why not seek out genetic rarities from every race?

Here's how I saw it - the whole movie was an allegory about how liberal white people perceive blacks. They hide their racism by saying they voted for Obama, hate their ancestors for their bigotry (the Jesse Owens comment), yet they stereotype and judge all the same. They just think they hide it better.
