ATTENTION: TO ALL OF MY FOLLOWERS

I’m thinking about starting a whole new primary blog/separate account. I won’t be completely deleting this blog, but I won’t use it actively or post anymore on it by making it into only a blank page. The reason being is 1. I have thousands of posts that are hard to keep track of and a lot of personal ones have been lost that I wanted to keep and or delete but now have too many reblogs to completely get rid of 2. I’m starting to understand a lot more about how this site works and I’m running into so many dead ends to solve certain issues I feel like starting off fresh would benefit me a lot.

I’ll probably create my second account very soon, and give all you fellow followers the link to it so we can still keep in touch (since I’ll miss you all too much to leave this account behind completely,) and later announce again that I’m completely abandoning this blog.

So I’m not leaving completely but only simply moving to a whole different blog. Thanks guys!

There have long been debates regarding Disney’s lack of diversity and further, the lack of diversity in dolls for children of color. While reading an article on this subject matter, I came across a comment that made me raise a brow.  A reader commented: “The color of these characters is not a big deal. Kids watching won’t see any difference if no difference is highlighted. They will grow up thinking anyone can fit into these roles.”

I’ve seen the sentiment expressed in this comment numerous times in an effort to brush off a call for diversity as “overreacting.” There’s this prevalent myth that kids do not see color. That they grow up colorblind not understanding race relations, but personal experience and social research has proven otherwise.

Let me start with experience:

During thanksgiving break, my 6 year old sister convinced me to play dolls with her. While brushing her doll’s hair, my sister said “Her hair is not like mine. She has white people’s hair.” Caught off guard by her statement, I asked “What do you mean white people hair Kelly?” At first she hesitated to respond but after a few minutes, she replied “Her hair is straight, not like mine.”  My 4 year old brother quickly followed “Yeah, and she’s not brown like you either.”

My sister’s comment proved that even at this young age, she noticed the differences in her doll baby and in herself. She noticed that her doll’s hair is straighter, that it has a small sharp nose, a skinny body. She noticed that her doll is white and that she is brown. Most importantly, she noticed that those characteristics listed all belonged to white women.

tumblr is all for anti-bullying

except when someone is straight/white/male/hetero except when someone insults your otp or fandom except when someone doesnt understand a joke or sarcasm except when someone mistakenly says something offensive except when someone is a ‘white girl’

but yeah other than those daily occurrences that force people to leave this site and lose friendships, tumblr is super anti-bullying
