Since every Barbie from all 100 countries has a passport, I think these butthurt people are barking up the wrong tree. Mattel better not back down! They've done nothing wrong!
As for the appearance of Mexicans, most of the women I've seen (mostly in Southern California) are very attractive. As for men, either they look like these guys:   
...or they don't.  But to be honest, that's the same with all races and cultures. We have our "beautiful people" and we have our "regular people." 
Is Mattel going to have a Mexican Ken? That would be interesting. Has anyone seen some of those Mexican TV shows, where all the main actors look like the photos of the guys I posted above (tall, classic good looks, often with lighter skin), but all the staff and workers (servants, gardeners, and so forth) are smaller, shorter, sometimes stockier, and darker skinned? It becomes glaringly obvious when you start paying attention. It's rare to find a leading man or leading lady that is short and dark.

From the article:
Jason Ruiz, a professor of American studies at Notre Dame University told ABC News he finds common representations of Mexican Americans in pop culture as feisty, lively characters, associations that he says have outlived their time.
Yeah I guess you're right. Next year's SKU will have a sombrero, dirty jeans, and be carrying a bale of mary jane on her back. |

Quoted:
"While all the dolls in the collection come with a passport, some critics say Mexico Barbie is culturally insensitive, rather than an educational tool that "teaches girls about the culture, traditions and ancestral dress of Mexico," as described by Mattel on its website. Jason Ruiz, a professor of American studies at Notre Dame University told ABC News he finds common representations of Mexican Americans in pop culture as feisty, lively characters, associations that he says have outlived their time. "[Mexican Americans] are tired of being seen as merely colorful," he said. Although Ruiz didn't find the passport offensive, he said he understood why some people might have a problem with it. "It is a point of contention and great sensitivity for people of Mexican origin, especially Mexican immigrants," he said. "Papers decide everything for immigrants from Mexico."" http://www.upi.com/blog/2013/04/11/New-Mexican-Barbies-chihuahua-and-passport-stir-up-controversy/4061365680379/ Also heard this on the Today show. Says that people are offended by the fact that this Barbie comes with a passport given the current situation regarding immigration in this country. So why not make an Illegal alien Barbie? Maybe the leftist freaks would be happier. So Mexicans are no longer "feisty lively characters". Noted. Does this mean that the loony toons cartoon character slowpoke rodriguez was an accurate representation so they can bring him back?

What is wrong with that doll? Would they prefer she come with a bag of oranges and a Home Depot parking lot? How about a baby stroller and a WIC card? And since we are going for realisim how about tacking on another 200lbs on her. |
