They are selling you the dream of a WASP appearence. And considering the extremes that many women (and men) go to in trying to cover-up their heritage, they seem to be right. BTW, would you want to buy an article of clothing that detracted from your physical appearence? If you saw someone in an ad that was "big breasted, fine-assed, dark" you might not also see the "beautiful". And worse yet, from the sellers point of view, you might think she looks that way because of what she's wearing.
