Did you go to the page I linked to? That is only one section of many photos.

If you read my comment, the answer is "no". That appears to be a white woman, and I was specifically talking about white "guys" which I used to mean "males"

Your examples are hilarious and you can imagine how I missed those. Pretend all the photos were reversed, and those were the only two people of color on the whole page. Google would be (rightfully) chastised.

That was my point. It's ridiculous whichever extreme they choose. In 2021 when everything is about race and equity, I find it telling who its OK to exclude. Why couldn't they just have it be equal across the board?

This will get downvoted immediately but what the heck.

I understand we need better representation for people of color in many places - but dang Google, not a single white guy on the Pixel 6 page [0]?? Dozens of photos of people, not one white male. Sort of jarring in the reverse if you ask me.

Edit: Because the common reply to mine seems to be "Well now you know how it feels white man!" - I'd like to mention that I don't think it's good to exclude any group. I'm not sure why it's OK to vastly prefer one group for representation over another when the focus lately is on fair representation of everyone? And finally, to those who say "I'm surprised you even noticed" - everything in the media where I live is about race and skin color - literally to the point where the narrative is that so-called "color blindness" is not desirable - so it's something I'm beaten over the head with daily.
