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
