Because its a doll or a teddy or whatever.

Should we ban other types of toys in case people look like them and get offended when people call them that? Should we ban Big Ears in case it offends those with big ears? Should Jim from Rosie & Jim be banned because it might be offensive to ginger people? Should any white teddy be banned because it might be offensive to white people? Its just trivial.
This is why its good to know what youre talking about before making statements! There are black dolls. Lots of them. These dolls arent considered racist because they are black! Go read the history about it, before just making yourself sound like a biggot, or just plain ignorant!
