Last time I checked 'white' European people were not bright Yellow.

About as ridiculous as the other main characters look in Yellow. Now when TLC
announced that they would be producing Star Wars sets I was hoping that they
would make the mini-figs flesh tones. Instead they chose to make them bright
yellow. I hate double standards. Either all the figs should be yellow or all
the figs should be flesh tones.

Ick. Why do they not just switch all figs to flesh tones.
