Toys R Us faces bizarre race row over children's dolls
Toys R Us is facing a bizarre race row after selling a family of black dolls for £3 less than white ones.
The children’s retailer was found to have the ‘Wooden Dolls Family’ product of a white father, mother, son, daughter and baby figures on sale for £9.99 on its website.
However the ‘ethnic’ version - which features the same five dolls, but as black relatives wearing different outfits - was available for about two thirds of the price, at just £6.99.
A Toys R Us spokesman told The Sun that it had made a mistake, adding: ‘This £6.99 was simply a keying error on a pricing - the ethnic family should be £9.99 as well. The price will be changed.’

The professional complainers will always find something to fuss about on behalf of others who probably do not care anyway.
ReplyDeleteHey Toys R Us, why don't you just admit that the "ethnic" version was just not selling and you wanted to move 'em?

ReplyDeleteWhat is this crap doing posing as news? Who beyond the professional whingers who really gives a shit? What would the whingers claim if the prices were reversed? Do black kids really want to play with the ethnic dolls?
