It failed my "Emperors New Clothes" test. Emperor with non-existant clothes
that no one wanted to admit weren't there, but a child pointed out weren't
there?
Okay, so I explain Lego's policy to my nine year old son, pointing out that the
standard yellow in Lego is meant to be any race because nobody (healthy) is
actually bright yellow : pacific islander, european, asian and others. Did he
think of them as "white" after that? Yup. Dominant pale culture and the
yellow is pale, I suppose, and I should note he is by no means in an all-white
environment. I suspect he thinks of them as non-black.
These are just observations by the way, not particularly criticisms.
