America's most popular fashion doll Barbie has received widespread criticism on social media for not featuring an Asian Barbie in their collection dedicated to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games

America's most popular fashion doll Barbie has received widespread criticism on social media for not featuring an Asian Barbie in their collection dedicated to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Mattel, the toy company that manufactures Barbie dolls, collaborated with the International Olympic Committee and Tokyo 2020 organizers to release a new line of dolls in February 2020 specially designed for the Games. The collection includes five dolls that reflect the five new sports that had been added to the Olympic program this year -- baseball/softball, sport climbing, karate, skateboarding and surfing.

We are really expecting Barbie to be inclusive and/or realistic? That’s cute.

We really have so little to complain about on race if this is deemed newsworthy, just shows how far we’ve come.

She's there, she just uses skin lightening cream.

Ok enough of this racial crap. Just enough....just live your life people

And I am sure all the Japanese people are totally OK with that.

Mattel - do better. On the other hand …they are dolls and plastic at that. I understand the message but don’t let this be a pile on off other children’s toys

Yes, because this nonsense is important. This is the crap you look for to create drama when you have nothing better to do..

Olympics Closing Ceremony: Tokyo 2020 Comes to a Predictably Surreal, Somber CloseDespite the courageous and determined efforts of the host nation, the Summer Games came to a surreal and somewhat saddening conclusion Sunday night. ? Well, the closing ceremony is always melancholical. So, what's new exactly ? It was fine. We should respect the cultures of other countries and their Olympic ceremonies. It wasn’t over the top and it didn’t need to be. I loved it. I’m not sure what Olympics closing ceremony you watched. It was fabulous, and so was the opening ceremony!!!
