While growing up, did you ONLY receive AA baby/barbie dolls or nonAA baby/barbie dolls?

If you are a mother, aunt, godmother etc. do you tend to purchase AA dolls, if you purchase dolls? Has your daughter, niece, Goddaughter, cousin received a nonAA doll/barbie from a nonAA friend/classmate? If so, how did you feel?

Did possessing nonAA dolls affect your psyche?


If you are NON-AA, you too may participate. A question specifically for you, do you or did you own a non-White doll?

I received MORE nonAA dolls growing up. I think in the 70s most dolls were nonAA.

As a Godmother, when I purchase dolls/barbies/bratz, they are AA.

I never really thought about the color of the dolls while growing up. I just wanted to play.

I only had AA dolls - Barbies and otherwise. They were all AA. My parents made a point of it.
