Anyway, if its the photo, as someone who creates this kind of marketing stuff, you do tend to go for what we call "generic" to try and appeal to the broadest sectors, and I suppose reflect society, this isn't done through some misguided sense of PC as you call it, its to make the document appeal to more people, particularly if you are selling stuff.

Sounds like they missed the topic on this one though given the document title.

I realize that stock pictures are used, and I agree they have missed the topic, I think this is the wrong choice because the subject is far from keeping "families" happy; The use of mixed race models, is in my opinion, to satisfy the PC brigade, and not necessary.

Again, I add, this is my opinion. (and some time ago I would not need to add such a comment)
