OK, Amazon. What has "UPLOAD" got to do with Black History Month?

I was looking at my Amazon Prime suggestions, and one category of suggestions they had was "Black History Month." And the very-third suggestion on that list was UPLOAD (with Robbie Amell & Andi Allo).
I saw UPLOAD a while ago ... and maybe it delves into 'how we're all the same color in the afterlife,' but the closest explanation I can find online is a BlackGirlNerds-interview with another supporting actress (Zainab Johnson)---and I don't think the interview talks about 'racial stuff' either! https://blackgirlnerds.com/zainab-johnson-spills-the-tea-on-her-role-as-aleesha-on-the-amazon-series-upload/
Maybe it has something to do with the show's larger-than-average number of black cast-members

That's why. Black History doesn't always have anything to do with the actual history. However, it's also the one time in the year black people are put in a positive spotlight. So, if the movie features a primary black cast, you're going to bet it's going to be suggested for you.

Bing Rewards gave me a link to a search-page (about Black History) that listed a lot of (fairly recent) 'historical events' involving Blacks---first Black U.S. President, first Black U.S. Vice-President (not on the same ticket as the Black President, but 'on the same ticket as the White guy that was 'that President's VP' ... does this make Biden an honorary-Black? 
),
... then something about Colon Powell (I probably misspelled his name), and various other 'first Blacks to achieve something' ..

I watch upload and it has a very diverse cast. Also the lead actress is black but her role is not stereotype.
