Does it come the in a white version also? Then what is the big deal? This is the reason racial stereotyping never goes away.
there is also a white doll with a Panda. Since the Panda is Chinese, this is racist too, right?
We can all play dumb! The reason racial stereotyping never goes away is because idiots keep making things like black dolls and calling them little monkey. We all know that black people were (and in some places still are) referred to as monkeys, apes, jungle bunnies, etc. So why shouldn’t people become offended by something offensive. Maybe the doll was created to cause a little controversy. Racism does still exist, and anytime it’s recognized people are made to feel bad by so call playing the “race card”. I say call the situation like you see it.
I have no idea who Klynette is but I think that is the best possible answer ever given!! Ok heres my 2 cents:
Things like this happen ALL the time.People love to sneak racism in and then act like they have no idea why anyone is angry.And if you dont see this for what it is then you are either ignorant ( In the truest sense of the word ) OR ok with covert racism.If they called a white doll ‘lil honky’ or ‘lil cracker’ would you also say it wasnt racist? Everyone , who hasnt been living under a rock for the past say 75 years, KNOWS that this is a term used to offend black people.This doll is black. Enough said.
Seriously, even if it comes in a white version, and even if there was no intent, there is an OBVIOUS problem with calling a black child, even a model of one a monkey. While there is alot of crappy race card calling, this is pretty bad.
As long as people keep calling racism every time they can then it will ALWAYS exist and be a problem. That’s not to say there wont be racist people out there – sadly ignorance will never go away…. but like tydydgrll said if there is a white one, what is the big deal? Today’s kids wouldn’t know what that meant if society didnt keep re-educating them on the negative aspects….
I see it as a toy that, unfortunately, adults have been programmed over the years to see as fulfilling a racial stereotype.
Without outside influence, do you REALLY think that a child is going to CARE about the monkey/racial connection? They see it as something cute and to play with. Along come the adults to “educate them” in the wonders of racism and show them what they are missing.
Take it a step further… look at a playground and the children on it, especially younger kids. They see a difference in the skin color or the slant in the eyes or the funny hats, but they do not care… it is the fault of media and us for teaching them racism… both those of us who do it innocently so that they are aware and those that teach it because they believe that someone is smarter or better because they are white or black. Personally I wish we were all grey… but we would find something else different about each other to hate.
Now… did this packaging go over the top… Yes, but ONLY because of the present attitude for things like this.
People need to get over themselves… racism will only, truly, ever go away when people stop making such a big deal over the fact that there are different races. We are all humans, in a nutshell… that is all there is to it.
What if the black child likes better a black toy?
What it the monkey / panda is easier animal to recognize for a child?
Would an albino monkey be better?
Maybe a red monkey would make the american indians feel discriminated ?!
I’m not saying that racial stereotyping is ok but the issue is not always black and white so to speak.
Bollocks. People are actually looking for things to cry ‘racist’ at these days. I would think nothing of calling a child ‘you little monkey’ if they were being mischievous, whether they were black or white. I suppose I should be careful incase THAT’S racist too? It’s all nonsense. Political correctness for people whose lives are so meaningless they have nothing better to do than point and shout ‘racist’!
The people producing this doll are most likely in China and have no idea that it would be offensive.
You’d be surprised how early a child can learn to recognize that they’re being treated differently because of appearance. I learned that lesson by the time I was five years old. Playing Tarzan, I was chosen to be Cheetah. Over 50 years later, I still avoid crowds, and people in general. Do you think it’s also OK to refer to someone w/ a physical handicap a gimp or a crip?
You can’t call Blacks monkeys! Not until they are in jail like monkeys in a zoo. So obviously because this is a baby it can’t be a monkey! Some people just don’t get it!
I consider myself to be one of the last to scream racism. I believe I am as opened minded as they come. I try to see life for what it is and what it has to offer. However, considering the past, which we can never erase out of Ameirca’s history, I belive this is a strick back at blacks in a pretty way. I have heard of whites still morning the lost of the civil war up to this present day and with this new black president, does it add sorrow to their hearts? I don’t know. Is this how some, not all, respond to sooth their sorrow? I believe this is a pretty cheap shot of racism.
@ Voice of Reason and all the other people who want to pretend like this isn’t blatant racism. No one cares that you want to make jokes about blacks not being monkeys until they go to jail…that is just your ignorance–you can’t help it. We all know American history and we all know the stereotypical slurs and images that have been depicted to demean a race of people and still you all continue the traditions of your forefathers with instances like this and then try to deny that’s what is being done. No one is stupid. It is fear that causes you all to attempt to continue to indoctrinate and oppress psychologically with dolls like Lil Monkey. However, God’s retrobution is on the horizon and it is starting in the White House, He put Obama in office for such a time as this… There is a gleam of ambition and hope in the eyes of little black children like never before. We can now envision ourselves at the top and we have a concrete role model to look up to. God’s hand is moving…The racism in your genes and your souls is once again coming out of hiding….and ya’ll are scared. Nice try…but the shackles on our minds have been loosened and some even broken.
in the words of the late great Malik El- Haj Shabazz ( Malcom X)…. Looks like a case of the chickens coming home to roost.
Maybe I should come out with my own White doll called little HONKEY and make her a Barbie doll dating a black man since that’s what they do anyway.
SMOOTH CRIMINAL i like your comment
I know both black and white mothers who call their children their little monkeys. I know two moms, specifically one Guatemalan and one Black who have their bathrooms decorated with monkeys and call their children their little monkeys. I’m not saying I don’t understand why some find it offensive. I’m just not sold that is was MEANT to be offensive, and I am black.
Thanks. Good job! Write more. It seems like I become regular visitor
