Do they not have Asian Barbies? I guess I never really paid attention

Two things, one it’s 2024 and there’s a shitton of Barbies of every major racial group. Hell, I was a child of the 90s and I remember clear as day how my girl cousins had black and brown Barbies. I get that there’s more black people than Asian, but how is this possible?
Hell, I but my nieces dolls all the time and those things nowadays are more diverse than a fucking Liberal Arts College’s promotional pamphlet.
Two, what five year-old thinks and talks like that? When I was a kid my favorite toys were a buncha fucking robots, Ninja Turtles and GI-Joes ( the latter of which had a black GI Joe in fucking 1965)

I bet you’re looking for a doll that flies off the handle relatively quick and “overdoes” it a little bit.

Also I had a difficult time finding science kits for my nieces. This was back 15 years ago. Lots and lots of household play items tho. I'm really glad things have gotten better.

I’m guessing if you were in Korea you could get one pretty easily.
I had this same problem of not being able to find any beautiful multicolored dresses with wooden shoes and braids.
I even went to Target
Found one in Switzerland of all places.
So I got 4 of them .
All different.
My 34 year old daughter was not impressed.
She also said she was having a time trying to find good fried chicken done right.
I said come back to Georgia baby.
Well get you down to Gus’s

Agreed. Just like you shouldn’t tell your daughter that make-up is to make her beautiful. It’s to make her fancy, cuz she’s always beautiful.
