Is it just me or is Barbie even more racist than before?
I’m upset. I bought my daughter 11 Barbie movies. Barbie Princess Collection and the Fairytopias. Not one of them has a black, asian, native american or hispanic in it. All of the characters are white with different hair colors. My daughter who is five caught on to this. She told me she can never be a Barbie Princess or a Fairy (like I would want her to) because Barbie doesn’t like her skin. That pissed me off.
To answer some of the remarks stated below. I bought all of these movies at the same time because a friend of mine who happens to be white said they are good movies. Which they are, but they don’t relate to my child or any other child with color. Yes, it does give the wrong impression of body image, but this is mainly about the movie giving my daugter a negative image of her own skin color. (And there is no way that I teach anything racist to my child because she is mixed herself. Her father is white and cuban.)
I picked up on this at only six years old!!!!
So I never played with Barbies growing up instead dinosaurs and horses since they seem to be diverse. But its so sad and I would never have kids because no matter if there black or biracal they would never get the aattention they need like a white child. This world is sick and unfair and it kills me that I never grew up like a girl should have.
Its like asians and Hispanics and blacks are not worthy of anything.
lol the first poster said just don’t buy her barbies…wtf….if the tables were turnned trust me we would be hearing an uproar.
To the poster Debra below are you on crack? She should tell a five year old to wake up and forget about barbies and so on? WELL tell a white child that and see if her parents kick your a$$!! SHE IS FIVE not an adult to be knowing that stuff anyway….you must be real old to forget kids like toys…how stupid can a person be?
