| (...) Ironically, LEGO does this to avoid any controversy about race. Their argument is that if they do release Mace in a brown color, yellow will automatically represent caucasian. But LEGO considers yellow to be yellow, not caucasian, black, red (...) (22 years ago, 30-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.general)

| | Re: Lando minifig picutre HERE

| (...) I disagree with your assumptions. When LEGO first made any attempt at Lego "people", they had very few colors to choose from. Yellow was probably the best looking one available at the time. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I just don't believe there was (...) (21 years ago, 11-Aug-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)

Nor did I say that there was any overt racial motivation. What I do believe is that Lego didn't think (...) (21 years ago, 11-Aug-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general, FTX)
