“
There was a little Indian girl who wanted to get her doll’s hair done. She bought a light skinned doll with green eyes and caramel hair. Unfortunately I was having a hard time getting the style right because it was thin, then her dad says “why didn’t you get a doll that looks like you?!” And then the little girl whispers to me that she doesn’t like the dark hair dolls. The majority of them have a medium/dark skin tone.
I was shocked. Shocked to see a little girl in front of me being ashamed of her skin tone. I wanted to say something, but I didn’t. I feel that people do not understand that whitewashing doesn’t end with fanart. It extends to the media and it is damaging.

“We know this about Mitt Romney…he’s not a job creator. When he was governor of Massachusetts, they were 47th out of 50 in job creation. His experiences in downsizing and outsourcing jobs and bankrupting companies and walking away with a lot of money for himself. His economic ideas are the failed economic ideas that we tried for eight years…their message is: You didn’t clean up our mess fast enough.”
