Rereading, I realized I misinterpreted your comment. Sorry.
Watsonianly, I still maintain that an average skintone of olive is possible with grabbing people off the streets in those countries. Doylistically, we can question why LMB chose those three countries, instead of (assuming that she wanted to keep the Russian thing and the derogatory term "Greekie") Russia, Greece, Vietnam, and Liberia. If starting from those premises, a culture where the major divisions into majority/minority were all language-based, and had nothing to do with perceived race, would be even more intriguing and different.
