nice to see barbies are as racist as ever,
if you want a white barbie, you can be a computer engineer, or a dentist or a vet or doctor or a racecar driver (pretty sure danica whatever), or the traditional ballerina.

but if you want a black barbie... well looks like there is only one profession for you. i'll let you click and guess.

Don't be surprised if black barbie sells more than white barbie.
A few years ago I was in D.E.C.A. and when we took a trip to a marketing event there was actually a contest to come up with and market a new barbie doll.
Can you guess what barbie won? I can't remember what they named it but, her story was she grew up on the street and was "ghetto fabulous" and it won. Despite being pregnant or other things, it won.
And to be honest, I for some reason doubt little girls are really going to be into "computer engineer barbie" seeing as most little girls.. and most full grown women I know either
A. avoid electronics like the plague.
Or
B. don't openly advertise they are good with any form of electronics.
Then again, where I live everyone is proud to be a "country boy" or some crap like that..
So if a girl is good with electronics and has half a brain she is going to intimidate guys
or get attention from the guys who have no life, which is generally not the form of guy women want to attract.
Give me a mechanical keyboard and high dpi mouse over a deer stand any day...
Then again I think its more people around here are more "wanna be redneck" then legit "country boy" to begin with..
