I agree. But it sounds like they didn't randomize them. They made it so they explicitly can't be white. Random would mean put all the options into a hat and pull one out. This makes sense at least for non-historical contexts.
It makes sense for some non-historical contexts. It does not make sense to fully randomise them for "pope" for example. Nor does it makes sense if you want an image depicting the political elite of present day Saudi Arabia. In both those cases it'd misrepresent those institutions as more diverse and progressive than they are.
If you asked for "future pope" then maybe, but misrepresenting the diversity that regressive organisations allow to exist today is little better than misrepresenting historical lack of diversity.
