I read somewhere here that Lego only does yellow heads to stay away from race
issues.  Is this actually true?  Has anyone confirmed this with Lego?  Earlier
I had just took the yellow head thing for gospel when I read it.
Honestly I don't see what the big deal would be if they did make other ethnic
figs.  What is there reasoning if this is true?  Maybe I will write Lego and
find out if I don't hear anything back.
