I'm thinking the outfits smack of stuff like Uncle Tom's Cabin surely?.... Shouldn't a progressive black doll be wearing the type of clothes a black person might wear the C21?

Re: Gollywogs are back!
Are Golliwogs anymore relevant to black people than Barbie is to white women?
Both gross charactures.... Personally I'd rather see Barbie banned. |

Stare into the eyes of the girl in the first pic. It's kind of scary.

Just pointlessly provocative. I've heard plenty of references to the Aboriginals and the PNGers in FNQ as 'wogs' amongst a range of other things. Political correctness IS important if you want a long term change in attitudes.....
It's also used for cold/flu symptoms in these parts, as in "she's got the wog". Never heard it used for Aboriginals, must be an FNQ colloquial thing. |
Re: Gollywogs are back!
Strange. I live in Brisbane and the only place I have noticed them being sold over the years is in the Melbourne CBD. One of the story comments say they are being sold in a "cheap shop" in Sydney too so maybe some pound shop owner has bought a job lot and flogging them in the tourist shops. The store in Melbourne was a fancy store though that specialised in them.
