Most Racially Spot On Children's Toys, Ever?


Wow...Talk about hitting the nail on the head. You've got Grandma and Grandpa wearing perfect replicas of that old white person style, a little bit of leisure, comfort, and sensibility all rolled into a singular outfit.  I have no idea where you'd even go to put together your typical grandparent outfit, I'm guessing its something the AARP notifies you of once you hit a certain age.

Mom and Dad just doing their thing in their slightly authority-like clothes (though mom should probably be in mom jeans, kind of an oversight).

And the children, stereo-typical white kid prepsters. The overachieving daughter with her form fitting sweater and her headband that gives her a slight air of "stuckuppedness," the son who dresses like Seth Cohen due to way to many hours of prime time TV watching in which every teenager is dressed like they're in the middle of a Sears Catalog fashion shoot, and the two babies, apparently wearing bed time gear...Because even when playing make believe, you just want your kids to shut up and go to bed I guess.

And it doesn't just end with "White Family," either. Block Play People are nothing if not in favor of the old Separate but Equal laws of the old south...Just look:


My only puzzlement is the native American Family...Because if my white guilt laden middle school social studies classes taught me anything its that Native Americans don't exist anymore.
