Apparently, the law of supply and demand is racist.

one of two explanations for that:
1) white people are overpriced
2) black people don’t fall for that barbie doll crap.

Sounds like Walmart is screwing over whitey if you ask me. This is one of those, “Is the glass half empty or half full” things.

The red sticker means it is a clearance item which means this item is discontinued. Walmart always lowers the price on discontinued items to clear shelf space for newer items. It messes with your display if you lots of individual discontinued items taking up space here and there because you have to keep moving stuff around as the number of items on the shelf declines.

Do we now have affirmative action pricing for the diverse crowd?
To: GSP.FAN
They marked Black dishes down further too - forcing me to buy them over the white dishes I wanted.
I’ve been diversified....

Exactly, when you go to clearance sales the black dolls are always plentiful.

I have never met a black chick named “Barbie.”
Maybe with another name, they could sell for the same price?
