In what statistical universe could it have played out like it did?

Any random one, just as it's possible to flip a coin and get heads a few times in a row.

Except we're talking about over 20 pictures. Do you know how often you'll get heads 20 times in a row? I'll give you a hint, it's in the neighborhood of 1 in 2 million.

As others have said, the large group of pictures of non-white people is about a specific feature: a camera that does a better job of capturing darker skin tones. So we can ignore those.

The other pictures I see are:

- White woman

- Asian man

- White(?) man (the guy with a man-bun who's jumping)

- White(?) man looking at mountains (his hand looks beige, so he could be any lighter-skinned race)

- Black woman

- Black man/woman

- White man/woman

- Asian family

- Asian man/woman and Black woman

- children that are too small to see

- Asian woman

- Asian woman

That's 20 people, 15 of whom seem to have an identifiable race. Of those 15, 3 are White, which is 20%.

The US is ~60% White and humanity is ~15% White.

So what exactly are you complaining about? In the grand universe of marketing pictures, White people have been dramatically overrepresented. Did you complain about that in the past?

I think they will survive being slightly underrepresented this time.

These aren’t stock images, they are meant to show what the pixel camera looks like. But at google, you can assume these things are all _very_ carefully considered. Usually all google marketing images contain exactly equal numbers of white/black and male/female people. It doesn’t really matter but it does stick out how they are all exactly proportioned in every graphic.

Yeah this "what about white men?" doesn't feel genuine given there is a white man on the page, the new tensor feature for detecting POC, historical context of marketing in general, and the fact the Apple iphone page is comparable...
