Will you give your children black/darkskin dolls?

[NA9]

Do you think its important for your childs self confidence that they play with dolls that look like them instead of blonde cadaan barbies?

Dolls were created by cadaans for cadaans..

Yes if my kids are darkskinned I will give them darkskin dolls because they would feel more comfortable and they can learn to love themselves. They will feel beautiful in their dark qurux skin tone.

Something tells me you were intially serious, saw the reaction and kept it going for the sake of riling them up while being only half serious...am I in the ballpark?

I don't blame you, somalis with their tissue skin are too easy to bait.

Tho Somalis back home are victims of Euro centric beauty.

Girls are bleaching themselves and even relaxing their curly hair just to achieve straight hair.

Why will i let my children play with dolls. There are so many stimulating activities for children to undertake at such a crucial age, that i would not even think of buying a doll even once.

What reaction?

I never used dolls, but I sure will choose black/dark skin dolls for my child if I ever have one. If it's for a specific character like Barbie, then I wouldn't mind giving my child a white doll.

It is deep, and whoever thinks it's not is delusional. Dolls are meant to be pretty/played with most of the times, and giving your child a blonde haired white doll will set Eurocentric beauty standards to their heads at a very young age.
