Do they use white people too? If its exclusively black people then yeah kinda weird...

If you read the article they claim there were other images of white and Asian people too, but that the person only took a photo of the ones with a black man.

Is there a reason they have to have a photo of a real person? Is it to desensitize them to the idea of shooting someone? Just weird...
