Females Only: Have you ever played Barbies with a girl of a different race…?
…and noticed that she owned Barbie dolls of your own ethnicity?
I think that’s beautiful. When I was a little girl, my parents made sure I had Black dolls (I’m Black by the way, of course) to identify with but they also bought me white, Asian and Hispanic Barbies. The only Native American Barbie doll I had was the Disney’s Pocahontas.
I was used to seeing my Black friends with white dolls but when I used to see white girls with Black dolls it surprised and amazed me. =)
@ Leighann: I thought that was as a LITTLE GIRL! I am 23 now, and I no longer think that way. I know little white girls have Black dolls! As well as Hispanic. Use common sense.
Yeah, I guess I did. I’m Native American and I played with Black, White and Asian Barbies. They didn’t come out with the Native Barbie (from the “World Barbie” collection) until I was much older and completely out of that phase. Pocahontas came out waaaaaay after I lost interest in dolls.
It was kind of nice having a variety.
