I'm not sure if the significance of blackface is viewed differently in the land down under.

Nah, we understand the significance here. Australia is just a racist country, unfortunately.

Dang, I thought the rest of the site seemed very wholesome.

This is a country where a word that's often considered one of the most offensive in the English language is used as a compliment with the sqaud. Hell, sometimes it's just used to string a sentence together.

Are you really surprised?

On one hand, it's definitely a blackface inspired character that people can certainly be justifiably offended at its existence. On the other hand, it's very unlikely a large amount of racists are going to want to collect blackface dolls. I don't really agree with those people making new ones, but I don't see the act of liking it as inherently racist. You can definitely call it ignorant, but I don't think a small group of weirdos is going to harm anyone either. Unless there's a far more horrid side to it like "lynching accessories," I'd say it's nothing to be up in arms about at least.

They are seen as racist (by my generation at least) but they were a popular toy back in the day so you tend to see them surface around in local stores or whatever.

I'd be very suspicious of people who still make them.
