In YouTube are speculating about the end of yellow heads

Trying to say that this one picture of flesh toned heads means the phasing out of yellow heads altogether is a pretty big assumption. I can't see them ever fully abandoning it. If they did, it wouldn't completely ruin minifigs for me but it'd take some getting used to. It'd be like if one day the Simpsons were no longer yellow.

Carl is not yellow 

The doctor is not yellow 

Maybe brown heads will be added to regular lego themes like there is white heads por skulls and green heads for aliens

They are two different systems.

In The Simpsons, yellow is meant to represent Caucasian/white people hence the need for other colours for Carl and Dr Hibbert, and others still like Pedro the Mexican bee guy.

In LEGO,  yellow in in-house themes is meant to represent all people. For example, the Mexican Mariachi is yellow.

Do we know any 1970s primary source that confirms this narrative? Or was this narrative only applied retrospectively? I really would like to know this.

Maybe someone has scanned articles or documents from the 1970s?

Only the retrospective story by LEGO.
