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
now is because *all* LEGO 'figs are yellow)

and it makes sense to have a yellow head for a
caucausian minifig (Luke, Han, etc.)

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.

You're both being silly.  They should use Belville pink.  ;)
