Translated from Swedish using the superior Google Translate. [quote=Behrang Miri]My daughter turned three years last Friday and which party she has been through. Mass baklava, cakes, gifts and the most sacred of all - a cake! And it was certainly not the cake you want - it was a Hello Kitty cake. (Everything from my daughter's wishes.) Not only that everything will be consistent with the Hello Kitty these days (Hello Kitty ice creams, patches, nail polish, etc.) - all accessories must also be pink and get one that "transforms" into a nice little princess. And after having gone through the hundred and sixty thirteenth Hello Kitty product, I can say nothing more than that now I HATE all the cat Big Bang (apologies to all animal rights activists - it is only a certain kind of cat). Time passes so quickly and I can not believe that my daughter has already had time to serve three years and now more than ever, I realize how easily one's children is characterized by market and societal norms. It took me 24 years to realize that a pink bow tie or for that matter pink underwear (boxers, however, and nothing else) might be nice to wear sometimes. Now I only hope that it will not take my daughter 24 years for her to realize that even she can play with the blue dogs! For it is true that most of the toys for boys has clenched fists and grimacing mouths, while girls' toys often consist of dolls whose hands and fingers, the shapely contours of where you see every nail in every detail. [B]Since one can not forget the fact that Barbie is almost always blond and blue eyed (ideals rooted in racism) and that her baby named Ken and not just have the worst rug on the chest (all men have not tundra on the chest).[/B] Perhaps that is precisely why many men waxing chest and maybe it's precisely why my daughter is already whining about pink nail polish. You know what - next time I am in the toy store and asks for help, I will bloody well force the clerk to take me to the "blue dogs" department, instead of the department with all the pink cats. Viva la revolucion![/quote] [quote=Avpixlat]The politically correct stupidity never ceases to amaze me. In the land where ice creams and sweets are racist - and its own population is not recognized as an ethnic group in the law on incitement to racial hatred - continues with the frequent professional "cutting machine" Behrang Miri and Barbie. In a column in the free newspaper "City Skåne" ranting Miri today about his daughter's third birthday and the fact that she seems to like pink things. Moreover, the ideals that Barbie is based on racism.[/quote] [URL="http://www.behrangmiri.com/comingsoon/index.html"]Info on Behrang Miri[/URL] - [url]http://avpixlat.info/2011/11/16/nu-ar-aven-barbie-rasistiskt/[/url] - [url]http://cityskane.se/citykronikan/2011/11/15/behrang-miri-om-konsstereotyper-och-sma-gulliga-rosa-katter/[/url]
I thought Ken was her boyfriend? But anyway, do they want us to make African American barbies, Hispanic barbies, Asian barbies, native american barbies, and Indian barbies?
[QUOTE=Gnomical;33293561]I thought Ken was her boyfriend? But anyway, do they want us to make African American barbies, Hispanic barbies, Asian barbies, native american barbies, and Indian barbies?[/QUOTE] I thought they already have those. Seriously, walk into a barbie aisle. Lots of pink, but there is at least a little bit of diversity, not much though.
i love how you put a quote in the title that isn't actually a quote [editline]15th November 2011[/editline] that's not even a paraphrase.

I want a Mongolian Barbie that does tuvan throat singing.
As far as I can tell this is a rant about toys being gender-biased or some shit. Where the fuck did that racism remark get pulled from.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;33293621]Looking for a reason to complain about something. I remember when "White Christmas" was almost banned on our local radio station because it wasn't "Black Christmas". Isn't that racist in itself?[/QUOTE] i don't believe your story in the slightest and you clearly didn't read the article just the quote in the title which isn't really a quote just some misleading shit the OP made up
what the fuck are you trying to say OP? of course barbies are sexist as hell that's not fucking politically correct, that's observing reality what, do you think women are naturally drawn to wearing high heels or pink shit?

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;33293621]I remember when "White Christmas" was almost banned on our local radio station[/QUOTE] [B]Sacrilege unto the memory of Mr. Crosby[/B]. [editline];[/editline] Wait, is he trying to say I wax my chest because it makes me more like Ken from Barbie?

[QUOTE=Contag;33293645] at the end where they stated it's racist because barbie is 99% of the time racially pure (at least in a nazi-esque ayran fashion)[/QUOTE] I saw that but they didn't even state it's racist at all, not once. They said she matches the Aryan doctrine for 'racial purity.' Which she does. Who gives a fuck, the only people who put any real value on that are absolutely retarded skinheads/neonazis or whatever so it's irrelevant. Okay, they say 'rooted in racism', but that's not saying Barbie is racist at all, that's referring to Nazi beliefs.
[quote=op]Since one can not forget the fact that Barbie is almost always blond and blue eyed (ideals rooted in racism)[/quote] well shit i've always had blond hair and blue eyes guess that makes me the ideal racist :downs:
-automerge-
[quote]blond and blue eyed (ideals rooted in racism)[/quote] Reading this, I am reminded that in the effort to eradicate racism, all we have done is slowly somewhat pushed it upon other demographics.
[QUOTE=Valdor;33293687]well shit i've always had blond hair and blue eyes guess that makes me the ideal racist :downs:[/QUOTE] no you twat that's not even close to what he's saying i swear you guys are so gullible and incapable of reading it's remarkable you can turn your computer on without dying
Valid complaint. Black barbies are outnumbered like 200:1.
[QUOTE=Andokool12;33293708]Reading this, I am reminded that in the effort to eradicate racism, all we have done is slowly somewhat pushed it upon other demographics.[/QUOTE] nope
She was designed in the 50's....
[QUOTE=Lazor;33293663]the op for some reason hates Behring Miri so in desperation he looked for an article where he mentions racism and creates a fake quote to mislead facepunch users so they join him in a circle jerk[/QUOTE] Hate? Desperation? What? I'm only sick of these political-correct idiots. Barbies are sexist, sure. But claiming it to be racist due to the color their hair and eyes are... just stupid.
[QUOTE=Lazor;33293709]no you twat that's not even close to what he's saying i swear you guys are so gullible and incapable of reading it's remarkable you can turn your computer on without dying[/QUOTE] i knew a friend who knew a friend that played with barbies and became the leader of the ku klux klan true story
"politically correct idiots" lmao sorry that some people are capable of having a dialogue about our use of language and how it affects the perception of certain groups and obviously he isn't claiming they're racist(not that he is in the first place, rooted in racist ideas=/=outright racist like you imply) solely because of hair and eye color. the skin tone is implicit in that sentence [editline]15th November 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Valdor;33293824]i knew a friend who knew a friend that played with barbies and became the leader of the ku klux klan true story[/QUOTE] WOW
[QUOTE=Chekko;33293787]Hate? Desperation? What? I'm only sick of these political-correct idiots. Barbies are sexist, sure. But claiming it to be racist due to the color their hair and eyes are... just stupid.[/QUOTE] Yeah that sure would be stupid if anyone was doing that, but that's not what being said and if you think it is then you are either an idiot or just looking for something to get angry about.
[QUOTE=Chekko;33293787]Hate? Desperation? What? I'm only sick of these political-correct idiots. Barbies are sexist, sure. But claiming it to be racist due to the color their hair and eyes are... just stupid.[/QUOTE] uhm i don't know what you want us to infer from a badly translated blog post but i'm not gonna take your word about what it says. and yes, the traditional barbie tends to follow a specific white-western concept of beauty. it's not really about the barbie, it's more reflective of the society around it. i don't see what the point of posting this was
Of course barbies are racist.
[QUOTE=Lambeth;33293991]Of course barbies are racist.[/QUOTE] well to be specific the barbies are inanimate objects so the barbies themselves aren't the racist ones.
hitler approves of the average barbie.
[QUOTE=thisispain;33294007]well to be specific the barbies are inanimate objects so the barbies themselves aren't the racist ones.[/QUOTE] Yep. Everything hinting at white people is racist.
[QUOTE=thisispain;33294007]well to be specific the barbies are inanimate objects so the barbies themselves aren't the racist ones.[/QUOTE] Naw one called me a dirty jew the other day.
