@rizwanraja1thief I hope you ask that SAME question with pretty much EVERY poster the world sees each day. I wonder why they don't have an equal representation of black people, when I see posters full of white people. The MAJORITY of the company is black, so that's who is on the posters. If I'm not mistaken, doesn't America follow that same rule?
