Wow, bad move by Costco. They probably were not marketing black dolls as lil monkeys, but bad choice on the name. :nono: Racism is not cool Costco, Bad Costco, Bad......

Oh that is so sad

Like so many stupid things many people do and say, it can only make you upset if you allow it. It's some ignorant executive that'll probably lose a bonus for making such a boneheaded decision. They've already pulled them from the shelves and unless Al Sharpton calls for a boycott, this should be the end of the story.

 

[Friday on my mind]

Read the comments at the link (a site called black voices btw).Those voices don't think for a minute it was just some accident and would very much like to see costco and the mfg of the doll pay financially via a boycott.Sounds reasonable to me.

They also had a white and a hispanic doll in the same costume and other dolls in the line dressed as other animals.

They should have dressed them up as sheep, that would have been most accurate.

:eek:Is this real? This is the kind of thing I can imagine The Onion doing. This ineptness just makes my head hurt. I thought the Chia Obama was inappropriate but this is just off the scale
