Dolls don't really matter, there are dolls of every ethnicity but the white ones are more prominent, but it changes nothing overall what doll you play with, as a kid it's just a tool for your own imagination Everything you put in front of a child shapes their interpretation of the world and how it works. Seeing yourself reflected in places and forms that occupy your world matters. Hence, Visibility matters. Diversity matters. Not being able to see yourself in the faces on toys or on tv or in certain occupations -- race,gender, etc-- has a profound effect on what you imagine you can be/do. If you can see it, you can do it.

I can only speak for myself but playing with blonde Barbie dolls didn't really shape who I was as a teenager even less as a young adult. In fact I would play with Barbie Houses, with fake kitchens, and all the stereotypes of what a woman should be doing. Yet I grew up wanting to play football or wanting to be a boxer after seeing Muhammad Ali I think there needs to be more studies about this, but i'm not so sure that toys have a real impact as a kid. A baby boy could play with a kitchen toy, a chinese girl could play with a black doll, it really does not matter in the end, Im not sure kids need to feel represented in the form of toys, most likely on TV and in the media though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbie actually does great work standing behind things like this. But as with any business, you vote with your dollar and your voice. Than maybe one day an Inspiring Women collection will have a Gaga doll http://ncruz.com "She's an intellectual, your honor" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRedd 3,139 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 People will complain of course lmao but as a black person, this is so gorgeous and I’m so in awe still of the efforts people like her made in that time frame and those who still make efforts now. This doll is beautiful and allows older and younger generations to collect and keep remembering such a powerful black woman. Any black people mad are just in 2019 complaint era. Some of us will never be happy with anything but this doll to me is beautiful. May I Read You? 😎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouTube doll test and here's one on gendering childrens play Spoiler Kids are sponges and they soak up our wrong-headed sh*t at a very early age. I'll speak for myself and say it sucked. It sucked knowing I couldn't have something if my Mom saw no girls in the commercial for it; to have to draw in my own version of textured hair over the straight hair people outlined in coloring books; to only see light skinned girls of color with "good hair" on toy boxes. This is how concepts (race,gender,ability etc) are internalized into "oh only they are allowed to xyz. It sucked as much as it made me happy to see a Barbie w a wheelchair, gay families on kids tv shows and girls playing with light sabers, in all skin tones. Hope you read up on it. It's fascinating.
