Where is Princess Fajita
So I think for now on whenever I'm invited to a child's birthday from a co-worker, or friend, or giving Christmas gifts or a gift for any celebration. I will be sure to give them an african american variant of a doll or toy. Whether the family is white, asian, or indian, won't do it to black people cause it makes no sense and giving them a white barbie for example is nothing out the ordinary. I'm a watch them open it and see the reactions of the child and family, and if I even get some kind of comment from them. Think it will expose racist thoughts in some way.
I can see it now
Me: Happy birthday Michelle, I bought you a gift Somebody told me you like bratz dolls
Michelle:
*Frantically begins to tear apart gift wrapping*
Me: *Anxiously awaiting the reveal like bron coming to southbeach*
Michelle: *Opens up gift to see this*
**Whole birthday party hits an awkward silence , while I'm in the corner like**
Michelle:
Me:
Parents : "well this is quite ....
lets move on to the cake , *looking in my direction like
**
The beauty is nobody could say anything about it without it coming across as racist. I might get some "what was you thinking" or "you should have known better" or an even "take your gift with you" responses but I can respond like "whats the problem . Put people of different races in a bind because no matter what they say they or do they know it was race motivated and nothing else. I'm a follow up in a few weeks, if i'm ever invited back around to see if the toy even gets used , or was thrown away or sent to some village in africa.
Join the wave brehs...lets make it a movement.
