I am purchasing gifts for a child in need this xmas. I chose a 6 yr. old girl. I do not know the girl, and I have no idea what her ethnicity is.
when I was growing up, you got white barbies, or barbie's friends, who were also white. Today, they have all kinds of Barbie- hispanic, asian, black. there are also now baby dolls of color and different ethnicities.
My question is this- do I buy a "caucasian" doll, or should i pick someting up? i hate to be ignorant, but i have no idea if children really prefer to play with dolls that look like them..or if it doesn't matter.
Sorry if this question is ignorant. it's been many years since i played with a doll, and i just don't know what it is like "today"
