"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."
-Erin, 19, Caucasian and Native American, heterosexual female from San Fransisco, USA
