What in the Friends / Party of Five - lack of nonwhite people in the cast - stock photo hell is this...

Before I read it, I noticed they're all white and got upset.

It's not a big deal

...especially considering the statistics involved. Assuming that the stock photo company is intending to make photos that are most relatable to western audiences (and therefore reflect western demographics), the likelihood of getting four white people by random isn't unlikely at all--even less so considering that those four selections aren't independent probabilities (i.e. people tend to disproportionately be around those of the same race).
