Were your Barbies ever in interracial relationships? What about same sex relationships? How did they act within these relationships?
"Yes and yes. I only had two boy Barbies so LESBIANS EVERYWHERE. I really didn't think anything of it at the time. I thought a lesbian was just someone who married their best friend and that sounded pretty cool."

How ethnically diverse were your barbies?
"Not very diverse. I only received barbies as gifts at birthday parties, I think when your parents invite over their friends to their 8-year-old's birthday party they just assume to get a white girl a white barbie."
