I know there are a high percentage of black players in soccer, but why are the latest Google Women's World Cup logo images all black players?

So aog are you talking about the link from mamya at 1755? If so then IMO you are completely wrong, it's easy to see this is just based on a graphic design that uses black white, red, blue,yellow and green prints only.

Not desperate in anyway, if you make a statement and you are proven wrong please be courteous enough to hold your hands up aloft.

Are the Muslim Country's playing in Burkas?

If that was the case they could have chosen any of the six colours to represent the skin colours, but no they chose black.

And we wonder why there is so much unrest in the World.

// why do advertisers choose to have mainly black and white models and even black and white cartoon characters showing off their products, so as to represent the people of a majority white country? //

The Womens World Cup image is not aimed at a British audience, it is aimed at a worldwide one. Whether viewed in Africa, China or Europe, the figures are recognisable as women. They do not represent only black women, that is just your graphical illitracy kicking in.

Your general question about advertising models is based on your exposure to it. The advertising you see is aimed at a UK audience not a worldwide one. Adverts in China feature models from that region, in Africa, they feature African actors. The UK is mostly white but not exclusively. So while the majority of advertising features mainly white models, there are plenty of black models also. Which corresponds with our diverse society here in the UK.

I just hope they are wearing tight shorts, which Blatter suggested a while ago!
