For what it's worth, I agree. I think that yellow is fine for representing
lighter skinned races such as Caucasians and East Asians, but a bit of a

this subject. Characters in an Adventurers Safari theme would likely be
African, not African-American. I'd like to see a Lando Calrissian Star Wars
figure. His character is neither African nor American.
