For some strange reason, black people and white people still don’t seem to like taking photographs together. Which makes it awfully difficult when a magazine, newspaper or brochure wants to demonstrate diversity, so they must use photoshop.

One black guy on the boat is enough
The white ghost in the machine

Curves cereal

I don’t understand why they do these. The fact that they feel the need to photoshop shows the company isn’t as open or diverse as they want to portray…so the answer is to diversify their models, not to haphazardly photoshop them.
For the photos of real situations with black people photoshopped in…why? What’s wrong with a photo if there’s no black person there? That’s like saying friends taking a picture is bad or wrong because they don’t have a black friend there. It’s like suggesting all the non-black people who went to the game were bad for not bringing a black friend or that black people did something wrong by not attending or being near the main focus in the picture. It’s just nonsense.
