Do they really relish and need racially and ethnically accurate dolls and action figure for their "child's play"? Do they want to just "have fun" or play with future preferred role models in terms of physicality. Toni Morrison thinks they need dolls that look like them in The Bluest Eye and Jacqueline Woodson played with dolls that were distinctly African American in looks. This is an issue kids should reflect on as their preferences will be authenticated through their parents' consumer dollars. As for me, I will stick with the original Barbie. Somehow I never thought she was meant to represent a role model for my life in my Brooklyn neighborhood as a child far removed from her runways and perfection. But I loved her style and creating scripts for her and her pals. That was imaginative play not a reality world!!Dr. Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144152165815942010noreply@blogger.com
