Selling white dolls far more than the black/asian dolls

Post by StormShadow »

Is Argos racist? Black and Asian dolls sell for £10 less
Argos accused of racism after selling black dolls for less than their white equivalents. Is this fair?

Lisa O’Reilly, a 32-year-old mother of three from South Killingholme, has made an official complaint to Argos, after she went shopping for a doll for her two-year-old daughter Darcy, and discovered variations of the same doll had very different price: the white doll was £34.99 and the black and Asian versions were £24.99. She accused the shop of racism.

R u kidding me???? IF I were black or Asian--I would be jumping up and down for the 10 pound save! WTF???? :lol: :lol:



Racism has nothing to do with the price variations, it has something to do with economics! Supply and demand. The more a product is high demand, obviously the more it will cost. Because people want to buy. Due to the high number of white people over minority, naturally that speeds the demands. If race had something to do with it--Asian dolls would have cost more than black dolls, and white dolls cost more than both minority! Fahamtu? :eat:

It makes business sense to discount Black dolls IMO. Quickest way to clear unsold stock.

How many black/Somali or any blacks buy dolls for their girls!
They just want to move those items off the shelves quickly.



Stop being such fockheads with inferiority complex!
