Mattel has introduced its first Barbie doll with representing someone with Type 1 diabetes. The doll, part of the Fashionistas line, includes realistic medical accessories like a continuous glucose monitor and an insulin pump — as well as an outfit that pays homage to diabetes awareness.
This new doll “enables more children to see themselves reflected in Barbie,” Mattel wrote
If what you say were true, there would only be one type of Barbie.
No, there’s been quite a few now. Racist, mocking, socially damaging. It’s clear the company is led by a clueless board.
