Well, if you take what I understand to be the current scientific view of the spread of human cultures you have people coming out of Africa and moving to various environments. There their skin lightened and heights on average decreased to deal better with cooler climates. For example, if they were showing a Native American in this sequence they would revert to looking more Asian first followed by then growing darker skinned...So no its not technically racist, as that was the progression of skin color and such as determined by the currently most accepted theories in anthropology. So lets stop the PC train please.
