Target stores in trouble promoting its Annie clothing range with white models - when the new lead actress is black

You may know that the new Annie happens to be black. Target (US BASED STORE) is under fire for promoting new Annie clothing using a white Model. Are you for real? Why not use the real Annie actress or someone that looks like her? Here is the picture from Target


Now here is the black ANNIE


What could be the reason for this.

Dailymail reports 
Target is under fire from angry consumers over its use of predominantly white models to promote a new clothing line inspired by the recent remake of hit musical Annie, which is led by an African American actress. 
Change.org petition issued by motivational speaker L'Sean Rinique Shelton, based in Bear, Delaware, calls for the retail giant to remove the 'disrespectful' in-store displays and apologize to the movie's 11-year-old star, Quvenzhané Wallis.
'In the current stench of racism and division amongst Americans, why would Target singlehandedly disrespect Quvenzhané Wallis and add more pain to injury as it relates to race relations?' poses Ms Shelton, a mother-of-three.
