Every picture on this site is of all Caucasion people – every one, even the hands. You might consider encouraging people of color by replacing these pictures with a more diverse group – Asians, Hispanics, Indians, Africans, etc…
Hi Jim.
I thank you for noticing and saying it. I am sensitive to that too, and it came acutely to my attention when I began to select images after we had purchased access to a stock photography site. I did the best I could with the resources I had at the time and I will change some. Give me a little time. Please come back and check it out again. I do have lots of images of gorgeous kids from every corner of the globe. Perhaps I could incorporate them to send a more inclusive, joyfilled, hopeful message of reality. I do appreciate your comment.
