Nope... It's not your imagination, and it seems to make perfect sense to
me...

After all, you have a group of people who have to face serious prejudice
and hatred. This means that often it is difficult for them to get "Real",
well-paying jobs. Add to that the fact that Orks and Trolls have an even
harder time because tehy are less intelligent (on average), and it becomes
quite clear why a large percent of the SINless and "Lower Class" are made
up of Meta's.

On top of that, with all the advantages that Meta's have over humans in
certain areas, they make the best Shadowrunners, especially in certain areas.

Plus, they're more fun to play...:]

Put look at your average Corp Dude in Shadowrun... Most often they're
Human, or occasionally an Elf, but rarely anything else...:]
