The American Girl dolls are supposed to be so realistic and historical! Is the release of ethnic dolls just for their image? Caroline Myers thinks this post could get a little angry. Therefore, this entry is a mere suggestion that the reader check out this Article-->(http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/24/fashion/24Doll.html?pagewanted=2&sq=american%20girl%20doll&st=cse&scp=3). The fact that a process of releasing a doll would take eight years is baffling. They tossed and turned over the idea of her hair color:
"Hair color was a big issue, debated for years. At first it was a dark auburn, but it was thought that might be too untypical. Ms. Boswell said. Then dark brown, the most common hair color for Russian-Jewish immigrants, was discussed. But perhaps that would be too typical, too predictable, failing to show girls there is not one color that represents all Jewish immigrants."
This seems over the top. The rest is up for the reader's interpretation.
