Black Barbies Sold for Less
March 13, 2010
The price of a black Barbie doll at Walmart was cut nearly in half of that of the doll's white counterpart at one of its Louisiana chains. According to FunnyJunk.com, packages of Mattel's Ballerina Barbie and Ballerina Teresa dolls hang side by side at an unidentified store. The Teresa dolls, which feature brown skin and dark hair, are marked as being on sale at $3.00. The Barbies to the right of the Teresa dolls, meanwhile, retain their original price of $5.93. The dolls look identical aside from their color.
A Walmart spokeswoman, who could not verify the exact store shown in the photo, said that the price change on the Teresa doll was part of the chain's efforts to clear shelf space for its new spring inventory.
