Viral Video Sparks Outrage: Child’s Reaction to Black Doll Ignites Racism Debate

In this video posted on Snapchat, the girl’s mother says in a hilarious tone: "it’s a very cute doll". The reactions of the child and her mother quickly inflamed the web, reports 7sur7.

"It was clearly meant to be a joke, which is even worse than the scene itself," wrote a woman on Twitter. For another Internet user, it is proof that racism starts at home. "It really shows what they teach their children," another indignant.

In France, a similar controversy occurred a few days before the Christmas holiday. Julien Rochedy, former executive of the National Rally (RN), had protested against the presence of black dolls in the aisle of a supermarket. "Now we no longer have a choice. In my small provincial supermarket, the only doll highlighted is mixed-race. Our little girls have to submit to it. The future is shown to us; better, it is prescribed to us: disappear, dirty whites," he had tweeted.
