The other raced Barbies have their places in the market. But they aren't the one being celebrated - directly. Perhaps that's why the Sisters in Style line was created - as a nod to Black Barbie fans? Me, I'd have done a Barbie the World Doll and created dolls for several races/ethnicities - Black, Asian, Hispanic, Native American - and made them one year specials. Shrug. But I can see how that would be expensive. “Black Barbie” is part of Barbie history, but – and this is just MY guess – the celebration is all about the default Barbie, “White Barbie” who is the one having the 50th birthday.
