What do you make of this

On Saturday morning I opened up the box of my game Citadels, a board game that came highly recommended. I read the rules and it looks fun. Then I flipped through the cards you use to play the game. Maybe I'm seeing things, but I wanted to draw your attention to the art on the cards for the thief and the merchant. The thief has the darkest skin of any player and only the witch has a similar over-sized and unattractive nose. This strikes me as somewhere between racist stereotyping and simply insensitive. Your thoughts?
