This is PC run amok. This doll doesn't offend me in the slightest.

[TypeZoNegative]

Some fine reading if you're not offended Notice, leftists were behind this travesty.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

The fact that some people think this is racist says more about the people who think it’s racist than the people who manufactured it.

[nightlight7]

It's probably because of the French video Sexy Boy by the group Air (in the video two French nerds come to NY and get a culture shock).

[Wardenclyffe]

Coscto should pull this too!

[BlueNgold]

But of course all the monkey cartoons about Bush43 were meant as compliments...

[UnwashedPeasant]

Pandas offend me.

And animal crackers too.

[peeps36]

There’s a group of black correction and law enforcement officers called the Brass Keys. They are known to be anti white in the mold of Berry’s former church.

[LiberConservative]

Gotta side with Costco on this. What a dumb idea for a doll.

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Wow. I’m caucasian/white/honkey/whitie, whatever, and I called/call my first born, “monkey.” Dash II was/is “sweet pea.” I’m also a Pollock, and proud of it! Do Polish jokes offend me? Absolutely not.

I’m sick of this pc crap.

Reminds me of THIS classic SNL skit ...

BTW:

Costco obviously missed what happened after Howard Cosell called Alvin Garrett of the Washington Redskins a “lil monkey” while he was making a GREAT play on Monday Night Football ...

[editor-surveyor]

Costco is stupid.

[TigersEye]

Many customers complained the doll was a reference to the term "monkey" which has been used in the past by racists to denegrate African Americans.

Yeah, obviously.

[muir_redwoods]

Well, there a job opening for a merchandise buyer at Costco.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Gee, some people are just looking for something to complain about.

[Tribune7]

Why would someone be surprised at a racist doll at Costco? Chairman Jeffrey Brotman is a big Dem

[alnick]

Okay, so switch the outfits on the dolls. Put the monkey outfit on the white doll and the panda outfit on the black one. Unless there’s some racial connotation with pandas.

[Freedom2specul8]

I can’t believe anyone is offended by stuffed animals with (gasp) names! Are all monkeys going to be pulled from the toy market?

[Freedom2specul8]

Ok I take it back, I had to google for the picture. I really thought it was a stuff animal. The pic on the thread (assuming there is one) didn’t show up on my phone. WoW I don’t know what to say except that someone clearly didn’t think about their marketing plan.
:-p

[LeonardFMason]

I have referred to numerous baby/toddlers as “you little monkey”. Just because a baby/toddler is brown it becomes racist to say “you little monkey”?? Until this nation gets over this crap we will be infested by Jacksons, Sharptons, Wrights, and other race hustlers.

[Shelayne]

Good grief. That is really brilliant. /sarc

Normally, I would scoff at this kind of thing, but I have to admit that I cringed when I saw the pic. Switch the outfits, and the controversy goes away.
