Bright yellow won in the groups tested.
I was exposed to various cultures and ethnic groups growing up and was not taught to be "colorblind", but to appreciate the wonderful variety of cultures. Like you, I have been around the world and experience many cultures (ie: Mexico, Japan, Philippines, Mauritius, Angola, Senegal, and many more.) I learned from my experience that, like the old saying, variety is the spice of life. I enjoy various types of food, music, culture, etc.
LEGO is, imho, just trying to protect its business in the way they think will be most beneficial to them. Right or wrong, it's a business decision and nothing more.

Another politically correct decision without much thought.

They pulled all advertising for just the 1 day. They have not pulled the product line.
