Looking at the book covers, the artists forget or missed that 90% of the Manticore population is supposed to be of a blended skin colour. Getting this right would probably need a very odd set of actors and/or a lot of makeup (with complaints from people who don't understand the reasons about why it's not honest use of actors of various colours). It would also be very odd to actually watch for people brought up in our cultures - racist or not, we epxect to see people of the colours we normally see and everyone being a blend woudl be weird.
