where are the white humans? and the yellow humans? and the jet black humans?

I feel like the 1 skin tone is meant to be provocative, possibly be a
deliberate troll, maybe start a discussion.

does the author wish to weigh in?

as a white human I feel excluded. maybe I'm attaching too much importance to
skin tone as a part of identity. I think partly that's in our brains, partly
it's emphasised by the media to divide us and create outrage, for power and
engagement.

The average color of all human skin mixed together would probably be brown.
Picking an average of everything should be highly uncontroversial.

Nobody is average.

OK, that's too short to really mean anything, so I'll elaborate. If you take
the average characteristics of everyone in the world (wealth, skin tone,
intelligence, BMI, height, gender, etc.), and turned that into a single
person, then you would have a new, unique person. In other words, it would not
"represent" anyone, and so should definitely be seen as controversial. There
are a myriad of engineering stories about this discovery (one size doesn't fit
all).

If anything, I would have loved to see more diversity, or at the very least a
prominent message on how to achieve it. Color might be the easiest change to
make, but I didn't see any old or fat people on there, or how to make those
variations.

I like the overall idea of the project, though.

Quick question, I've seen quite a few sites and emails where these meme gifs
