what the hell is with the doll episode

it's 2017 and they have black barbies, and every doll company now has a few people of colour, the people they usually skip over are asians.

My sisters had a black Barbie in either late 60s or early 70s when we were kids in TX.
"Colored Francie" made her debut in 1967, and she is sometimes described as the first African American Barbie doll. However, she was produced using the existing head molds for the white Francie doll and lacked African characteristics other than a dark skin. The first African American doll in the Barbie range is usually regarded as Christie, who made her debut in 1968. Black Barbie was launched in 1980 but still had Caucasian features. In September 2009, Mattel introduced the So In Style range, which was intended to create a more realistic depiction of black people than previous dolls.

kind of sad it took them soo long to do a decent black barbie doll but my whole point was that it is still around and is't a issue like that episode made it to be.
