Woody Allen in Sleeper where he died and was put in suspended animation and then awakened in the future. “Back then I was in college. Majored in Black Studies. If I had finished I could have been black by now.”

That's actually a quote from Woody Allen's 1971 film, "Bananas" - not from "Sleeper."

What surprises me is that that phenomenon ("Black Studies") was apparently already in existence back then, and anchored in the public's collective consciousness, back in 1971!

In the 1971 Woody Allen film, “Bananas,” a fellow employee asks Allen’s character, “What would you have been if you finished school?” Allen’s character answers, “I was in the black studies program. By now I could have been black.”
