My daughter’s boyfriend is black. He has a niece who is 5. My daughter wanted to get her a black doll for Christmas. She said she had a hard time finding one. I never thought about it before, but I guess there aren’t many black dolls or toys geared to black children. I guess it’s because of white privilege.

I have four adopted black children. when they were small 15 20 years ago, I found them both white and black dolls. Toys are Us was a good supplier and so were the online stores. This is a less than 2% black state. Most girls had at least one black doll in their collections.
Type in “black dolls” on the Walmart search. There are plenty. A google search pulled up tons.
