In Star Wars, they created minifig likenesses of caucasian characters/actors in yellow, why (...) (22 years ago, 6-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs)

It's just my opinion that it is incapable of representing black people. (Someone once used the (...) (22 years ago, 7-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs)
