Why Shouldn't My Hispanic Baby Play With a Black Baby Doll?  |
| |
| The hubby and i went to Toys 'R' Us this weekend and my daughter reached for a black baby doll. At first, our reaction was to say, "nah you want this one" and gave her the white doll (daddy is white i am hispanic). After she fussed a litle bit, i actually realized that it doesn't matter which color i give her, i want her to be happy. I am not a racist person by any means. I felt horrible for even thinking she could not play with the black baby doll, so i bought it! She loves it, but as we were walking through the local Wal-Mart on Monday, we got these funny looks and people actually pointed at us and laughed made comments under their breath! I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT! What is the big deal? Shouldn't I be able to buy it and not get looks! This goes to show you hatred and intolerance is taught, you are not born with it or else my baby would have never reached for the black baby doll. | | | | | |

| | Your right that hatred and intolerance is taught. We are not born with it. I think that there is nothing wrong with your daughter's choice of her doll. In fact I think that if I had little girls today I would give her not only black babies but every other color too. Some people are just plain rude and there is nothing you can do about it except make a scene and what good would that do. | | | | | | |

| | Good for you!!! We all should be like your little child, as a matter of fact the bible teaches us to be like little children. Children are accepting, forgiving, loving, nonracist, they are little bags of unconditional love...Until we teach them better. Before they made little black dolls, little black children had to play with white dolls, no one thought anything of that. I've seen some of the new babydolls out there, and the black babydolls are absolutly adorable. I loved dolls when I was little, if they had made them back then I would have wanted one too, they're pretty. Again, I say good for you and your husband. | | | | | | |

| | I admire you for being open-minded on this one. But it's really a sad thing that racism is everywhere, and it's hard to change that fact. There's really a lot of lessons we can learn from children. Like what your child did. She did not base her preference on the color of the doll. She finds beauty in things (or people) no matter what color it is. I hope your daughter would grow up like you. You seem to be a great woman. | | | | | | |
