I would agree with Pedro in that this should be looked at as a skintone
issue, not a race issue.
As analogy: Before LEGO made an Episode 2 Anakin minifig, they never made
minifigs with orangey-brown hair. Before that, you had to choose red or
brown to represent someone with that shade of hair. Was this a slight to
all people with orangey-brown hair? No. It's just that this is a color
LEGO has only recently begun using.
Now that LEGO regularly uses brown, it seems only natural to make minifigs
with darker skintones, namely brown.
I don't buy the whole "LEGO uses other minifig skin colors - but only for
non humans". Underneath Darth Vader's helmet, he's got a grey head! Vader
is 'human', but to (questiobably) more accurately portray Darth's skintone
when his mask was removed in RoTJ, LEGO used grey.

| (...) I think that might be a good choice... I mean, NOONE has a yellow fleshtone NOR a red one (although once that night have been said). So this colour might solve the problem in a convenient way: it is close enough to brown, just like yellow is (...) (22 years ago, 6-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars)
