I think that's pretty insulting, actually.  It'd be kinda like using a black
head (with white inking? shades of the minstrel shows) for a black man.  Or
using LEGO yellow for Oriental people.  (The only reason that's not insulting

Say what?  I dunno about you, but *my* skin isn't LEGO yellow, or even close.
Using the "tan" color would make far more sense if you wanted a "real"
Caucasian 'fig.

(...) Lando (...) I couldn't agree more that humans are ignorant. So, no one cared that Han and Luke were yellow. And, IF they release a Lando, and he's yellow, I'll buy him. I would want brown, but I'd buy yellow. But are you telling me that you (...) (25 years ago, 1-May-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
