Greetings to all,
Have been following this debate for a while and I thought I'd through in my 2
cents.  Don't know if you guys are familiar with World Cup Soccer (I certainly
am not), but it is definetly not a sport played exclusively by "white" folk.
What I'm driving at is that Lego has released those soccer buses in a few
colors and each bus come with stickers so kids can decorate their bus to
represent they're favorite county's team etc.  Now surely the teams that are
represented do include players from just about every conceiveable color that a
human being can have.  I've only seen the blue bus and don't remember the
countires it could represent, but every minifig is yellow.  Things that make
you go hmmm....
