No one can tell me that the whole company was oblivious to this! Who was the “genius” who thought that the black doll should be “lil monkey”? Sheesh! It is offensive. No one ought to lose sleep over this... but yes I can see how it is offensive.

I would never realize that was racist unless I was taught good old American racism first. The dolls were probably made in China or somewhere where they haven't been taught our form of racism.
