Mattel is preparing to launch a NEW line of black Barbie dolls called So.In.Style. The dolls are supposed to have different features than Barbie and Ken to resemble little black girls everywhere. The dolls will have fuller lips, wider noses, and full curly hair. Black people are in an UPROAR about these dolls and they say that Mattel has completley missed the mark with these dolls.
The dolls are very modern and very similar to the regular Barbie collection. Some black people are upset because they know that Mattel once created this doll and they feel like the S.I.S collection falls short of their previous work. Although this is a beautiful doll, does it at all represent what Black people look like in America? Do you applaud Mattel for helping little black girls see beauty in their natural features or do they need to take the S.I.S collection back to the drawing board?
