Well that's just BS! Like I automatically have more (or less) to spend based on my skin color.

Maybe there's less demand and more inventory of the black toy resulting in the discounted price.

Perhaps. I don't think Amazon is being intentionally racist, or at least I hope they are not. However, it seems to me that if they want to avoid the appearance, the prices should be the same

I think the same thing happened with Walmart and a black Barbie  earlier this year.

They are just operating on the same equality premise that colleges, universities and the Federal government use...Affirmative Action, you know.   :whistling:

That is the exact dollhouse I am getting my daughter for Christmas.  If you go to Amazon right now, they are listing the Caucasian family house for $69.99 and the black family for $37.99.

Thank goodness for Walmart.  They only want $32.

Also known as the lowest common (and I mean common!) denominator.

I don't think they have a Hispanic family.  They haven't snuck (did I spell that wrong?  Google says I did) into America.

$59.95, but you have to send it via Western Union to Cuidad de Juarez.

Wonder what Muslim Barbey dolls with full burka go for. 

Toys and dolls are part of culture, if you are a white family, the girls get a white baby doll.  Black, Latino or Asian a baby doll that reflects the race of the parents.

WTF is wrong with that ???

I got into big trouble when I bought a Baby Brother for a granddaughter  4 years old that just had a new born brother arrive. 
 
The doll was life size for a new born and came with atomically correct features. So as the child saw her brothers diapers changed why not let her know that this was normal for a baby boy??

The Grandparents on the other side pitched a hissy fit, how could I give a baby a obscene gift.  Some intense conversations took place there after.  All came to an end when:

In the news a mother brought home a baby boy and when 3 year old asked mother what all that stuff was between his legs she told the child the doctor forgot to cut it off.     Oh Shit the little girl grabbed a pair of scissors and tried to help the baby by doing it themself.

Dolls are geared to the culture of the child and family,  All this other rott rot is insane.   

I cannot understand why dolls have to be sexually feminized    Darn my Betsy Wetsy was all ways a female never a boy baby.

If I were from a Black family, why give a white doll to the kids, all ways feminine and any other race this goes for the same thing.   Why not reality for the dolls we give our children, Toys we give our kids, are they not toys a teaching method for the youngsters to learn about adult life ????
