Did they airbrush him out because he's black, or because he's quite old?

Bryn, presumably the clue lies in the fact that he is quite old in the US too.

Quite odd for the Empire to score such a huge own goal! They didn't even give the guy a different suit. I'm guessing someone at their ad agency is looking for a new job about now.

Ford's did the same about a decade ago. They removed a Sikh and a number of black workers from a publicity photo of their Dagenham workforce used in advertising - for the Polish market, I believe.
