New African American Barbies Too African American???

Here is a story I read about the new Barbie dolls made by toy manufacturer Mattel. Some people have said that these more "culturally sensitive" versions are long overdue, while others are stating that they are prejudice anecdote or the punchline to a racist joke. What do you think?? http://hellobeautiful.com/your-world/barbie-finally-goes-ethnic/
