Essay 1122


The latest American Girl catalog features 35 photographs of Caucasian girls and 3 photos of Black girls — and one Black girl is depicted twice with the same product, while the other is out of focus in the background. Guess the doll company isn’t interested in accurately reflecting American girls. Plus, the girl shown below is kinda creepy — she looks less life-like than the doll.

I use to get this magazine when I was younger. Sad to see it hasn't changed.
