I must admit, if I were to draw pictures of the future I might forget putting
black people into it, too. Obviously if I were to think about the future
somewhere else, I might remember, but where I live (Germany) it just isn't so
common to bump into non-white people. So it seems naturally that drawing them
wouldn't be the first thing I would think of.

It is a relatively new trend* in the U.S. to be very mindful of diversity in
PR and stock media. The trend has been to show equal representation of skin
colors instead of an accurate representation of frequency. Now, this is
starting to move to showing a greater number of skin color minorities than the
color majority, due to market research showing additional positive response
with the minority and neutral response with the majority.
