Subj: Boycott Lego Date: 1/25/2005 11:09:16 AM Eastern Standard Time From: WsrSteven To: letters@dogstreetjournal.com



First, there is no plural for Lego.

Second, are you people thinking with a full deck?

The entire purpose for the yellow minifig heads was so that no one race was represented. Where the hell did you come up with the name “aryan yellow”? If they all had white skin and blonde hair, and blue eyes, then I would question this. The new colored heads represent real people or ficticious characters from the movies.

I am Jewish and proud of it, 42 years of age, and I still play with Lego.

And yes, I have met plenty of people of all races who also play with Lego with no thoughts that the company is racist.

Never for one moment did I ever think that the Lego Company was racist.

You need to get your heads out of your asses. I’m sick and tired of all this “political correct” BS.
