Damn I hope they hold their line.
Fuck all this triggering bullshit. And I bet the kid didn't give two shits till his mom told him he was supposed to be mad about it.

A spokesman
for Playmobil, a German-owned toy company, told MailOnline: 'This piece
is designed to depict life on a 17th-century pirate ship on the high
seas.

View Quote

'If you look at the box, you can see that the pirate figure is clearly a crew member on the pirate ship and not a captive.

'The
figure was meant to represent a pirate who was a former slave in a
historical context. It was not our intention to offend anyone in any
way.'

I guess I shouldn't be laughing at that but damn...........

-------------

ETA: I bet I know why the kid is crying. That's the moment his mother told him she was taking his new toy back.

Toy claims racist to categorize his people into simply "black" because of skin tone.

The character is a pirate, not a nude slave.

The pirate is being punished.
Pirates are criminals.
So what is the problem?

Why do so many black people have trouble saying ask?

It requires ever so slightly more mouth movement effort to say "ask" than "aks".

I think it would be awesome if Playmobil updated their description

This box includes:
- 5 x pirates
- 1 x pirate ship
- 2 x cannons
- 1 x parrot
- 1 x slave (shackles included)

Here's the set on the Playmobil site.

Check out the crow's nest. The "slave" is reading the treasure map and pointing the course with his flintlock pistol.

Tell Jemima to take a chill pill.

damn set's 90 bucks!

If you think that's bad, look at this imperialistic weapon of mass oppression coming over the ocean to subjugate the indigenous people!!

Actully, all the the "dats wacist" comments are getting hammered, and negative feedback.

Mine was "Great toy for fun and as a history lesson showing how Pirates would often hire escaped slaves and treat them with equality with a notable example being the historical figure "Black Caesar". With great toys like this kids can learn that history is not shallow and one sided and composed of only what people want to see, but has richer and deeper context."

You buy your kid a toy glorifying robbers, murderers and cutthroats, and then try to claim the moral high ground??

What a tard.

Its not racist its historic. Was 12 Years a Slave racist? They had people portraying slaves.
Someone thought there is a market for it.

The holocaust was historic too. Would you want your kid playing with a death camp set?

What about a toy where your crucify Christ?

I'd rather spend my day at work making money than protesting a piece of plastic.

Apparently certain segments of society wouldn't.

WTF does that mean? I'm sure she has a job. It appears to be a middle class family. Poor people don't have $90 toys.
