Displayed on the homepage of the 'Freedom Ship' are two black mulattos, a child of unrecognizable breed, and three ostensible white people in 'power suits' -- one with a cellular phone.
So whatever the 'Freedom Ship' is free of, it isn't race-mixing or multiculturalism.

Promotion material is usually subcontracted and there is very little leverage that the customers have over advertising agencies. Unless they ask directly to not feature the usual PC mix of the characters and be called racist. Corporations can hardly afford doing that. It's so bad that I often see technical ads featuring Congoids, while the technical field is totally devoid of them (they can't cut it in R&D). It has long since moved from representing the Congoids proportionally to their population to overrepresenting them by the factor of several (and as in the above example of technical ads, injecting them where they hardly exist at all).

There are actually some plans afoot to start on this. One of the sites is at Miami, and another in a yard in Finland.

And what would happen if some terrorists steered a barge laden with explosives into the side of this thing?
Dry land for me, thanks.
