Couples Retreat Movie Poster: White Skin Good, Black Skin Bad

Can you spot the difference between these two movie posters released by Universal Pictures? The one above is for the US market while the one below is for the U.K. and international market.

Racial minorities in the U.S. and U.K. are sometimes accused of being ultra-sensitive to perceived racial slights (e.g. Miley Cyrus vs Asians and Prince Naveen and Princess Tiana) and maybe they sometimes are but how can one justify the omission of the black couple in the U.K./international version of Couples Retreat.

What is Universal Pictures trying to say when it changed its posters. Pick the best answer from the choices below:

a) Black stars are not good enough for the international market.
b) White skin good. Black skin bad.
c) Only white people can afford to go to couple’s retreats in Hawaii.
d) British and international movie goers don’t want to see no black people in their movies.
e) All of the above.

Take your pick.
