Demographic accuracy in advertising?

An on-line ad for the University of Texas Liberal Arts college might be hedging just a bit on the ethnic and sex makeup of the school.

The ad claims, “We Are Liberal Arts.”

That claim is followed by photographs of attractive persons, to wit:

White women – 4.

White men – 2.

Black women – 1.

Black men – 2.

Student photo in class:

White women – 1

White men – 1

Black women – 1.

Black men – 1.

Asian men – 1.

Asian women – 2.

Photographs labeled “Our Students”:

White women – 1.

White men – 0.

Black women – 2.

Black men – 2.

Asian women – 2.

Asian men – 0.

Go here https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/ to see a list of areas of study.

I ran across the ad while searching "steppe archaeology."
