So, why can't black people pictured in these adds be full-on black? They're usually so bi-racial. Why can't they be full-on Wesley Snipes black? Does they not photograph well?

Companies want to appeal to the widest group possible. Best not to center on any one group.

The obvious answer is that they scare white people, or at least the marketing peeps think think they do. Less white people would buy the product because they can't relate.

So racially diverse enough to attract hip urban shoppers, but not so black as to scare off the southern racist consumer?

Racially ambiguous people are ideal for all types of advertising.
