There's a new Barbie doll in town, and she's an outrage. Have you seen this? It's Mexico Barbie, and get this: She comes with a freakin' passport! Like she needs to prove she's not an illegal. Sinvergüenza, Mattel. That is so offensive. As a Mexican American, I am hereby boycotting Barbie dolls forever, which will be easy because I don't have any daughters. But still! Oh wait. This just in: Mexico Barbie is part of the Dolls of the World series. And they all have passports -- even the blond one from Holland. Well all right, fine. But now that I've seen the series, I still kind of hate all of these dolls. Can't we do better for our girls?![]()
