I'll be bringing a few of toys and maybe a t-shirt or two.


Basically they are asking instead of a typical white doll they would like ones that looks like it belongs to other ethnic groups (african, asian, hispanic, etc) since they service more than just white children.


So a white kid can have a black doll, but a black kid cant have a white doll? makes sense to me.


They're saying that already 75% of the dolls are white, and they don't want a white Marine showing up to an African American household with toys for their daughter and give them a bunch of white dolls and nazi flags.

White kids don't have black dolls.

There was also a study that found that young girls of all ethnicities in the US thought that white girls were pretty and ethnic girls were ugly, largely in part to how the US market sells primarily white dolls, and if there happen to be non-white dolls, they are sold as less attractive friends of the white girls.

They prefer ethnic dolls. They realize most people are stupid and will buy a toy without putting any thought into it.


So bring it. It is still a toy for someone less fortunate. There are plenty of poor people in every ethnic group.

That seems overly complicated, I am pretty sure a poor kid does not care what color a doll is, I hope they are just happy to see it. I did put alot of thought into some of the gifts though, I always wanted a remote control car when I was younger, so I got a few of those. The doll was just because I wanted to grab something for a girl, and had no clue what. didnt think about the batteries. I am a horribad giftpersonamabober.

The kids don't think about it, but they study what people think and the factors of race, income level and the situation all play into this.

Also the people hosting the toy run put effort into looking at the types of gifts they get, so they probably noticed that the average gifts were white dolls and if they say put in ethnic dolls than the ones who do read the request will even it out.

Given that a huge government entity runs this, they must make sure they remain unbias to any gender or ethnic background to avoid racist stereotypes. You want to buy a white baby doll, do it. You want to buy one that looks asian or black or hispanic, then do it. It's your choice.
