This is awesome.
To my knowledge, throughout my youth, Barbie was a "normal" (but unusually slim) blonde white chick.
The array of Barbies now is awesome.
I am sure the company behind Barbie has no goals other than making a lot of money, but the fact that society has changed to the point where that requires diverse imagery is wonderful.
Some of the Barbies available now
The Down syndrome Barbie with model Ellie Goldstein, who has Down syndrome
