We had a similar conversation at the NCLTC GATS show a couple of weeks ago.
I don't care for the flesh colored minifigs either. They look "odd" after
seeing yellow LEGO people for all of these years.
The thing that concerns me the most about the flesh colored minifigs is the
bigger chance that someone will build something without intending to offend
someone yet someone will be offended. We never had that issue when all of
the figs were the same color. Maybe I'm a bit old fashioned but I like all
my LEGO people as classic smileys.
