This would be a comment on the movie, not the book (I haven't read the book). Watch this clip: notice what's missing? Yup. People who aren't white. A somewhat common theme in 1970s and 1980s-style post-apocalyptic film, alas: apparently, Caucasians are apparently particularly prone to survive the End Times. Either that, or Hollywood had a bad habit of not hiring minorities for crowd scenes, let alone supporting roles. The application of irony in this is left as an exercise for the interested reader. Moe Lane PS: Yes, I know: it hasn't happened yet, so we don't know that it won't turn out this way. Still, I think that we've safely avoided a world where the young are running it (and apparently, literally into the ground)...

The hawt, militant black chick from “Omega Man” don’t need your honky-pity!
NateX: Rosalind Cash (had to look her name up). I did like her in that role.
Logan’s Run is not a post-apocalyptic film. It is the end result of Agenda 21. Herding us all into super-mega cities and letting the rest go back to nature. Think about it.
