Interesting how the multi-racial Shirley card still uses a black woman whose skin isn’t all that black.

I suspect media representations of black Americans still prioritize those with lighter skin tones.

Could also just be awareness of the limitation of the film. You're not going to send a card out to every lab in the country that looks crap.. And they still need caucasian skin to look good / its their biggest market.

This is something I noticed as well. She always has the same exact haircut too.
