Dear Toys R Us...

I am writing as a concerned parent. Would it kill you to have one Asian doll in your whole store? FYI...Not all little girls are blond haired and blue eyed. Maybe they want a doll that looks like them. And maybe some Mom's are too lazy, I mean busy, to get online two weeks before the birthday and buy an Asian doll. I would imagine this is a problem not just for an adoptive parent, like myself, but all parents with children of a different race. To your credit, you did have one African American doll in the sea of white ones. Thanks for listening,
sincerely,
Lisa Smith

BTW- my girl bought a black barbie by choice the other day! She just calls her "my dark haired doll"...
I don't think she sees the skin.. How cool....

I have about five Asian dollies still in their boxes. Do you need me to send one for Miss Grace? I can have it in the mail today if you want. Call me.

Really? My toysRUs has lots of them. I've bought about 4 or 5 of them in the past year! Are you looking for a particular brand?
