That's because photography has a long history of being developed specifically for white people: https://www.vox.com/2015/9/18/9348821/photography-race-bias

The point is that now they've broadened the range where the camera works well. So they are showing what's improved.

Tide ads don’t show every single stain their product could remove. Beer ads don’t show every type of person with a working esophagus. They’re trying to get black people to buy Pixel phones. Let’s not overthink this.
