Question

Just wondering why 90% of the free images are of white people? Where is the diversity?

I don't understand why the majority of the images offered for free in Adobe Stock are of white people.  It is so hard to find images that show diversity.  Seems strange considering your stance on inclusivity and diversity.

I was searching happy retirement and all of the people are white!  I found one image of a black couple, a few images of asian couples, but everything else was white people.

Also, there aren't a lot of images showing LGBTQ.  

Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate that you offer free images, it would just add more value if they showed diversity.

It would be really great to see this change.

Thank you.
