Global Village...

Post by Devari »

A New Theme idea...

A theme that is filled with figures of all racial backgrounds and ages that work toward common goals and celebrate both their unity and culture. A theme that uses figures that have obvious visual differences teach understanding and acceptance. A theme that shows celebration of culture but also shows how people of all colours can be friends and work together.

Anti-Racism groups would love the LEGO group. :)

Since we have these skin tones alreasy, this isn't exactly a radical idea...

That's not a bad idea. I don't think I would buy a set like that, but, as you said, it could please many peoples.

Good idea, but I don't think many kids will want that set. I would please everyone though, but LEGO has never really had a racism problem since back then they were limited to colors and just wanted to keep it consistent. By the way, no one is yellow, so it hasn't caused any concerns. Like I said, good idea.

They had a problem, they were just clueless about it.
