I'm guessing this mostly stems from the Lando issue. If they start releasing a
few sets here and there that include brown minifigs, but still keep using the
classic yellow ones in the same set, it'll look terribly racist for them to not
use more brown minifigs. If they only use brown ones in sets where the
non-brown minifigs are some shade that's clearly meant to resemble Caucasian
flesh, it helps reinforce the idea that yellow minifigs aren't white folks,
allowing them to keep using yellow minifigs for all non-licensed themes without
any guff from political activists. The odd thing is that the 2004 Caucasian
skin tone doesn't look anything like the NBA Caucasian skin tone (not that it
looked any more realistic).
