Barbie Goes Off The Inclusivity Tracks With Their New 'Down Syndrome Barbie'

Barbie is taking supposedly steps to be more inclusive by introducing dolls with Down syndrome, aka pandering to a group they currently haven't targeted after decades in the biz. The move has been praised by advocates for individuals with disabilities, who have long criticized the lack of representation in mainstream toys. While some may see this as a positive step towards promoting acceptance and diversity, others may view it as a cynical ploy to appeal to a specific group while cutting costs by using mishapen parts.
