Zion looks strange to us because there seem to be an equal number of whites/blacks/latinos/asians. we are simply not used to this, thus it looks like there are A LOT of blacks/latinos.

The reason that most of the people in Zion are Black or Latino is because they were the first to notice that the first Matrix was not real. Thus the majority of the resistance is of darker skinned people. Hell most Blacks and Latinos well tell you "The world you live in is just a sugar-coated topping. There is another world beneath it. The real world."

When is it easier to believe the world is not real? When you are an affluent part of the majority, or when you are a disenfranchised minority? That's the reason behind the demographics of Zion.

So what makes you a good canidate to suspect there is something beyond the Matrix, while you are still plugged into it? Is it your nature or the type of lifestyle the Matrix puts you in?
Example: In M1, when the agents first got Neo's name, what if the Matrix was quickly chaged to give Neo a different life, i.e. his own software empire, or whatever he would find more exciting, pleasing, or fufilling? Would he forget about his quest for Morph and his distake for the real-world?

yup, and I have a feeling that at least over time a larger portion of Zion's population are natually born than Matrix escapees
