Well, to be fair, right here:
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/3407 (Spanish, Portuguese)
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/3406 (Brazilian, Mexican, Argentinian)
Even if they don't have a 'fig with Pele's number (which I don't recall off the
top of my head), it's clear that these are not predominantly caucasian teams.
This seems to refute your point above; clearly, these teams are designed to
represent different ethnicities, yet they use the standard yellow minifig.
Maybe producing a bus that comes with Cameroon, Nigerian, and Tunisian flags
would have made the point all that much clearer, but it seems that the yellow
'fig is, for the time being, supposed to represent any/all ethnicities.
