I wouldn't call it propaganda because it's not in favor of one particular group - it's in favor of all of them.

Edit: All 6 of the Juno team people in the photo are white. Maybe within 40 years (when today's kids are space engineers), brilliant minds of more races will be involved. The best and the brightest, of course.
Yes, this is exactly what the narrative is. The problem is that this narrative assumes that multculturalism is a strength and something to strive towards. An ethnically diverse society is a low trust society (see Putnam).
