It is a questionable notion that images of groups of people <b> must </b>reflect some formulaic mix of ethnicities. It was, and this was my point, NOT a rampant obsession in the 50s.

Even if things had settled down on Zyra after Bellus took out Earth, you might expect to see a bit of left-over clutter or damage.<br /><br />Still, for the mythos of the tale, Zyra was The Promised Land, The Elysian Fields, etc. Kinda needed to be idyllic.
