14 DAY TRIAL // Mattel is pulling out a controversial Mexico Barbie representing all the stereotypes you can possibly think of when envisioning a Mexican woman.
Mexico Barbie is wearing a pink fiesta dress, reminiscent of Catherine Zeta-Jones' outfits from The Mask of Zorro. She holds a Chihuahua in her arms, and has a passport on her. According to Latin Times, the passport is accompanied by a “sticker sheet.”
The doll is part of the Dolls of the World collection, featured in the video above. Other Barbies are representing Australia, China, India and more.
Some believe that the passport addition hints at immigration issues, with many concerned about Mexican natives crossing borders to the U.S. illegally.
However, reading descriptions for the entire collection on Pink Pony Tail reveals that all the traveler Barbies are equipped with proper documentation.
