To be honest with you I like the black barbies. I like the different shades of brown they come in. I think they should make barbie to cover all cultures. .-= gigi @ best madame alexander dolls´s last blog ..Black Collectible Dolls =-.

I just think it’s pretty silly to make a specific line for black barbies. Are they going to now make a line for Asian barbies and then a line for Latina barbies? To make separate lines for each race of barbie seems like segregation to me. They should just produce new barbies in a variety of races, and create lines that focus on the barbies’ theme or clothing. Race is not a theme. Integration is the key!

That’s kind of the way I felt about it, Erin! Black Barbie still has the same over-exaggerated features that regular Barbie does.

hahahaha, they don’t like the black Barbie because she’s UNREALISTIC???

Like the white Barbie is anything close to reality.

Ridiculous.

The perspective on them from a POC at http://www.racialicious.com/2009/10/07/mattel-falls-short-with-s-i-s-so-in-style-line-black-barbies/ may be relevant.
