Asian Ken doll, is this doll socially acceptable in the U.S or is this doll racially insensitive in someway?
EDIT: Apparently, this is actually a "Japan ken doll", not "Asian Ken doll". Sorry for that.
EDIT: Blue Skye, thanks for that I did not see that part. Should have read the rest of the comment(s)

He's not racially insensitive but he's an historical action figure, not a "Ken Doll". I would be in favor of Kens of all races, but Barbie is a deformed ad for plastic surgery and eating disorders no matter what color they make her. Dr. Barbie my a**! She's too malnourished to have finished medical school and too top heavy to even stand upright.

His eyes are too round.

Maybe if it was an action figure for little boys, but for little girls they shud have made it with atleast jeans and a tshirt or something like the other ken

it's multi cultural not racist in any way, in nurseries they have ethnic dolls to teach children about different cultures
