Good god... no
[QUOTE=Jawalt;33293710]Valid complaint. Black barbies are outnumbered like 200:1.[/QUOTE]
There are black barbies?
i also can't help but notice that you quote from the website Avpixlat which under its mission statement writes:
"With us you will be able to obtain facts and analysis on these social depleting phenomena Islamization, cultural radicalism, national masochism and Swedish hostility, apparent liberalism and gender, quota and queer madness."
if glaber gets yelled at for posting biased right-wing news, don't you think that means you shouldn't post it either?

[QUOTE=Chekko;33294247]Good god... no[/QUOTE]
then what's the reasoning?
[QUOTE=Chekko;33294087]Yep. Everything hinting at white people is racist.[/QUOTE]
hi there. i can see your post count, but you seem to be new hereabouts in the news section, so I'm gonna describe to you the scenario that is undoubtedly going to unfold if you are gonna insist on being posting this.
ya see, when ya take pride in willful ignorance of your opponent's views (as in: transforming "maybe this person has a point about racism" into "so you're saying that anything that mentions white people is racist"), all you're doing is assuring that you're going to get shouted down by the people who were, just moments ago, trying to engage in a reasonable discussion - that is - until you decided that turning everything they say into hyperbole, in an attempt to make them sound foolish, was going to be your strategy.
i literally have no doubt in my mind that you do not genuinely believe that that was what thisispain was trying to say in the posts you were referring to (i'm not even going to ask you "am I right?" because I know the answer, just the same, whether or not you're willing to admit it) - but instead you've chosen to alter his sentiments, to nudge them one way or another, even if it's just an inch, so as to make your argument seem more credible. like i said, you're not going to accomplish anything by arguing against a point that hasn't been argued for, and I have an inkling that you're aware of this too. all this leaves me to conclude is that you didn't really want genuine discussion when you posted this -you didn't want actual debate-; instead you wanted people to crowd around you and collectively pat you on the back for greater posting glory or whatever ends you see forums popularity as the means to; and you shouting down, with strawman arguments and sarcasm, any attempts to debate your views is part of that very same strategy of asserting yr. forums dominance.
why dont you just quit right now before we all end up wasting our time trying to debate with someone who is only pretending to want a debate

allow me to step into the chekko simulator here: *rates everyone dumb and makes a passive-aggressive comment*
Read as babies.
hey dogg, just go make yourself a sandwich, get yr skyrim on, or read an article from a source which you have [i]not[/i] vetted to be in accordance with the prexisting views for which you are looking for further validation. just go do a thing thats not the thing that youre doing right now
really now
you're going to use the fact that they're blonde haired and blue eyed to call them racist?
I just think it'd work better if you used
Amazonian Barbie:

or Oreo Barbie:

I've seen stuff coming from Behrang Miri before and from my experience he's constantly looking for racism in whatever way or form he believes he can find it. I wouldn't take him too seriously.
lol oreo barbie that's almost surreal to me. sounds like something dave chappelle would make and then regret.
[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]
You are aware that barbies aren't even representative of Whites, right?

if you quote as reliably as the OP does then i think the proper thing for me to do is not take your post seriously.
plus i'm more likely to believe behrang miri than both of you. a farsi rapper from sweden? that sounds swag as fuck.

[quote=Behrang Miri]
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).[/quote]
[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;33294795][/QUOTE]
k so from what i understand you think he's calling the barbie dolls themselves racist based on a terrible translation.
it's pretty obvious that he's talking about the fact that barbies portray a narrow-minded ideal of beauty based on white-western values, a concept that's been written on a dozen times.
seems pretty obvious to me, if it's not obvious to you that's your problem heh
Only one in five white people in America have blue eyes
Mister Sandman,
yeah you have absolutely no clue what you're talking about and you look at drawn boobs so
[QUOTE=Lazor;33294872]Mister Sandman,
yeah you have absolutely no clue what you're talking about and you look at drawn boobs so[/QUOTE]
oh shit you're right I do fap to cartoon boobs
shit what am I even doing in here I'm so dumb
i will admit that barbies are based on white beauty, even the black, asian, and hispanic barbies are basically white barbies colored orange and brown
maybe it's because they don't want to make more facial molds but it's definitely there
but then again, does anyone really give a shit about how barbie dolls and racism correlate?
it's a little arbitrary compared to actual problems for minorities
[QUOTE=TBFundy;33295050]but then again, does anyone really give a shit about how barbie dolls and racism correlate?[/QUOTE]
yes, as the existence of this thread has shown
[QUOTE=TBFundy;33295050]it's a little arbitrary compared to actual problems for minorities[/QUOTE]
but treating minorities as outsiders/others is sort of the central problem. things like this are components of a single problem made up of thousands of other similar, similarly small problems.
On a slightly related note, Western culture (or at least American and Canadian culture) is inherently racist on a subconscious level.
Just look up the black doll tests or the IAT racism tests.

there are non white barbies though
no matter what color the barbie is regardless it's a "perfect" woman with "perfect" proportions so anyone without those proportions is going to feel different or non ideal
[QUOTE=TBFundy;33295202]

and this is a problem; which is why people are criticizing barbies.

well it was just a passing observation made in a newspaper column.
apparently the OP must have felt we really needed to know about this.
we sorta do though. itd be so dope if we were actually allowed to talk about race on this forum without getting shouted down by a din of "stop looking for racism everywhere"'s and "what's the big deal?"'s
[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;33295316]and this is a problem; which is why people are criticizing barbies.[/QUOTE]
i'd say keep the barbies but educate on self confidence and body diversity

no offense bro but sometimes it just seems like a normal everyday guy is all "I don't see the problem with this" and then whoever is like "yeah it's hard to see when you're an educated white male" and everyone leaves confused and angry
well you know it's hard to see when you're an educated white male so
