Made in China or not, it was somebody’s idea to create it and I would think most people would try not to make a monkey reference to a Black doll.

I agree. PC or not, that doll would never have gotten past me.

In Chinese history, there may or may not be a racist connection between the depiction of monkeys and blacks but, in American history, there certainly is.

Any American that claims that, in America, a doll depicting a human black child named "Lil Monkey" surrounded by monkey dolls or a doll depicting a human black child named "Lil Coon" surrounded by raccoons dolls does not bring up images of historically racist depictions of blacks is either blowing smoke or totally ignorant of American history.
