Should Barbie have a black boyfriend?
Let’s see…this is 2011,theU.S. has an African American President,inter-racial couples-especially black males and white females-are seen in most places,yet for some unknown reason(racism, perhaps?),Ms. B. Millicent Roberts has NEVER come close to having a handsome,studly black boyfriend.Oh,from 1970-’72,Ken-Barbie’s former [and future?] beau had a great-looking black buddy, Brad,who looked as if he could have seamlessly filled the role-though there was still very vocal opposition to mixed-race pairings two generations ago-but Mattel discontinued Brad,and no black dude doll has surfaced in the Barbie collection,let alone threatened to date Ms. Roberts.So,folks,let me hear from you:Assuming he isn’t Ken or Blaine,should Barbie’s next boyfriend be black?(Hint:I’ve got a great idea for the model of this black hunk!!!)
Why black? Why not Chinese, Japanese or Middle Eastern? Are you racist against non-blacks?
