Another Black Conservative: Burkha Barbie? Say What?
Mattel, the maker of Barbie is all on board for Burka Barbie.
Really? Women want to be subjugated, who knew. [sarcasm off]

I used to work at Macy's to make some extra money. I used to be amazed at the underwear women who veiled would wear; stuff I wouldn't buy.
Wow... If they want to make Barbies to represent every woman, then what's next? I want them to make a Mormon Barbie to represent me, please. It only seems fair.This is ridiculous.
Hannityinaskirt:
This is more typical leftist confusion. On one hand they railed against Barbie as sexist and dangerous to young girls psyche because of the stereotypical images Barbie portrayed. Now they are all a glow for being more inclusive, never mind the fact that the Burkha represents some serious oppression of women.
How does the saying go, stand for nothing and fall for everything.
For all we know, it could be Ken!
God only knows what is next. When Political Correctness is your guide anything stupid can happen.
Wow, this is one of those things that you look at and think "This MUST be a joke!". Sadly, it isn't...
What's next? Requiring all Barbies should be covered in burkas? Or "Arranged Marriage Barbie"? Barbie was never "politically correct", they need to stop making her to be.
Wonder if American Girl, Madame Alexander, Vogue, Bratz will follow this trend............
Clifton, I expect you to recognize sarcasm.
You want fairness and tolerance? Do you want to make a difference? Buy a doll from Ten Thousand Villages. The products are made by artisans in the Third World and they are properly paid for their services. There are products made by women abused and abandoned by their husbands who, no doubt, would veil their women again if they could find them. I wonder if Mattel thought of that!
Also, the fair-trade after-dinner chocolates are FANTASTIC!
