Amazon's STEM toy section reinforces gender stereotypes: Please change the image

How does this reinforce gender stereotypes? Amazon even dressed the kid in purple instead of the traditional color for a boy.

EDIT: Okay, when I refresh the page I see two images.

9 out of 10 times, the page shows a white boy in purple.

1 out of 10 times, it's a black boy in grey.
