I never noticed at the time, but looking at them now, it seems FP had their offensive color stereotypes all mixed up: the yellow/Lemonheads character seems clearly Caucasian, the red/Cherry Clan are Asian… I seem to recall that they also had “Alexander the Grape,” who was blue, of all colors, and wore a centurion’s helmet. If they were going to go there, shouldn’t yellow=Asian, red=Native American, Greek=green (if you must; also, grapes come in green), and Caucasian=not caricatured at all?! Weird.

I think the shiny dot is a shiny
light reflection meant to highlight
the the dark complexion of the faces by way of contrast.
