Are these dolls racist?

These "feel better dolls" were marketed as a stress reliever with instructions to hit the doll against the wall whenever the user was stressed. They seem like Dammit Doll ripoffs, only with a more questionable design. Do you think these dolls are racist? Sidenote: Something tells me that the answers to this question will not be unanimous, which saddens me greatly.

It's a little reminiscent of a golliwog, and with the African color scheme in the hair...it seems a bit iffy. Don't know if I'd outright call it "racist". Just wonder why that was chosen to be the theme.
