But wherever George Lucas grew up must have done a much more remarkable job at keeping them out.

He must have conceded to one African American couple only. Lol. I'll bet they were really popular in that class.

On edit:

Make that two black couples. But the second couple looks to have been spliced in from a different number, since they are line dancing at an entirely different tempo, which I believe is used later in the film as well.
