Does it bother anyone that primary.com seems to have lined up their child models from dark to light?

Is this problematic for anyone? Why would they line the kids up from dark to light? It cannot be a coincidence.

Yes it appears they did that. Why does this bother you?

No, doesn't bother me.

I was expecting to see 10 kids or something. It's 5 kids. It could be coincidental. I wouldn't give it a second thought. Look at the other photos below.. they have plenty of diverse kids not lined up by color.

I actually do not think they have because the little boy on the far right is not as fair as the little red-head girl next to him. ?

I thought it was going to be something fun like the old Benetton ads. Alas, this is just 5 kids and doesn't look intentional to me.

Agreed. She is definitely more fair than he is.

Cute kids. I like slogan free clothes though I feel like they faded a bit more than average when washed

It bugs me bc if you are the “dark kid” on the end you’d feel self consciously about it. And if you are a little girl of color looking at that it would make you feel like yup I’m the dark one The ad is neutral but society is not neutral so it reinforces cultural biases.

I'm not following you. All five kids look different from each other. The whole point is that hopefully many different colors of children could look at that landing page and see one child they identify with. They are trying to sell clothes to all the colors, not just one.
