Black Dolls - Ya or Nay?


Some parents are saying Mattel's new "So in Style" Black dolls made with wider noses and fuller lips in an array of skin tones are not Black enough. What are you thoughts?

  1. Despite the long straight hair, it is nice to have a doll with brown skin. I will definitely let my daughter play with her! Is her name Barbie or did they give her an 'ethnic' name?

  2. But many people are complaining about the "Long Straight Hair" and the message or image that it sends. Does that not bother you? Do you have long straight hair? What kind of image (if any) will that give your child?
