Alan Moore based The Watchmen from an old 40s comic book (you know, back when racism was the norm so all the characters were white). Many of the 80s Watchmen were either the same character or a descendent of the original character. I doubt Moore even gave a second thought to none of them being black. It probably would have required more explaining (and therefore sidetracked the story) than anything else if he HAD used a black or latino character.
If you spend time watching Watchmen and thinking about the race of the characters, you're doing it wrong.
