That's about as far as I think about it; really shouldn't make much difference to the story because he is really an amalgam of a lot of peeps. I would be careful about saying a black person's bone structure is different than a white person's because a black person could have more in common genetically to a group of white people and vice versa. The skin gene is a very miniscule portion of our whole genetic makeup.
That is disingnuous. The differnences between people are much more than skin color. Even among african people there are differences depending on where in africa they are from (same thing with folks in Europe, Asia, and the Americas). Australian aboriginees are as different from Africana as they are from Europeans, despite also being "black." Now granted there has been A LOT of mixing in the world over the last few hundred years, but if you put makeup on a white guy to make his skin the same color as a native African, he would still look like a white guy (just with darker skin). Same thing with an Asian guy.

Acknowleging these objective differnces isn't something folks should need to be "careful" about IMHO.
