I don't see how putting people with darker skin in art could possibly be seen as "pitting races against each other". Would the artstyle be improved if it only depicted white people?

The pictures in the article include skin tones such as purple and fuschia.

To me this visual style screams:

“Of COURSE we’re totally ok with…those people we cannot correctly enumerate, even superficially. That doesn’t mean we’d include anything too controversial like those <insert racial epithet here>‘s.”

To each their own, I guess. At least they’re trying?
