Mahiri Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Why its just a doll For me I don't see it as just a doll it's what it symbolises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm06 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 For me I don't see it as just a doll it's what it symbolises. Yeah... doll-ness, some people are just taking it stupidly too far, especially the black sheep one. The funny thing is, the people who it is supposed to be offensive too, are hardly that bothered about it anymore. Infact when I was at college last year, pretty much half of the class I was in wasn't white, we always had racial banter, throughout the two years, and whenever these dolls came up, all of the class said ''just a doll, some prats chose to make it offensive, means nothing to me'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffragette1 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Its a doll thats all,and if your signature is anything to go by your English is sadly lacking IT`s A DOLL why has race got to come into everything:huh: It's a caricature whose shortened name has been used as a racially abusive term, which is why some people consider it offensive. Surely that is not so hard to grasp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman62 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 It's a caricature whose shortened name has been used as a racially abusive term So what did the full length version mean, where did it originate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
