Oh, Susquehanna!

theworstthingsforsale: Why was the Oreo Barbie removed from toy stores almost as soon as it was released? Could it have been the fact that they labeled a black woman as an “Oreo”, and that’s offensive and demeaning? Yes, that’s exactly why, as a matter of fact. This is fantastic. I can only imagine that Oreo and Barbie teamed up and Oreo was like “You know, we’d like to advertise our cool product with a black doll. There are too many white dolls! Plus, what better way to make this doll more desirable than to pair it with a delicious snack?” Five months later the whole team from Oreo and Barbie are getting shitfaced in a bar. “Why didn’t we google this shit?”
