    Black girls and boys regularly play with white dolls and action figures without any fanfare. http://usat.ly/2peDX9P

        This is true. And we should celebrate beauty wherever and in whatever color, language, culture it occurs. Some steps forward will be small.

        There were not many options in the past. The fact there are more black dolls in the market is a start, but we have some ways to go.

        Real BLACK History is not taught in school (Pre-K - 12). Therefore White Kids never learn the truth on what BLACKS contributed 2/3

        The thing is, I am not white and do not wish to be white. That's why I only play rpg's that allow me to create a character with my traits.

        All the available dolls were blonde with blue eyes, interestingly. That's not the case today, I think. It was kind of my grandparents...

        Not just black dolls; as a child my grandparents struggled to find a brunette, brown-eyed, doll for me as a small child.

        Probably due to lack of choice in past-now, color discrimination is TAUGHT and LEARNED...never seen a child react negatively otherwise.
