Yellow does not = caucasian. The Native-Americans of the Wild West series,
the Japanese of the Ninja Castle subtheme, the Indians, Chinese and Tibetans
of the Adventurers Orient series aren't exactly caucasian either.
I think they differenciated the races by using facial features rather than
color. Like the eyes for the Japanese, noses for the Native Americans as
well as the new "African-looking" yellow figs with their larger lips.
