Obviously, Walmart.com's "Similar Items" feature is a poorly coded piece of functionality and it looks like some of their developers will be up all night fixing this goof. Someone at digg revealed this page where potential buyers of The Planet of the Apes are suggested "similiar items" that are all African American themed films. It's hard to figure what in their database is linking Planet of the Apes with an MLK documentary. Oh well, here's the screenshot since this may not be up for too long.

UPDATE:
The Planet of the Apes page is now suggesting "Everybody Loves Raymond" and "Friends" (two of the whitest offerings imaginable) and Walmart has actually sent us a statement about the matter so it's only fair that we post it here. Click below to read the statement.
