I sooo didn’t think about this. I’m a pasty Scots girl & when I saw this i thought it was an absolute MUST have for a good friend of mine. She’s Black & recently bought her own place. She’s complained in the past about not seeing ‘herself’ reflected in things before – media, dolls/toys, etc. and I go out of my way to find cute little things like this for her.
She does the same in return with gifts. I am a Fabulous Fat Girl & although I wouldn’t ever compare myself to a person of colour I do understand being marginalized in the media, being the butt of jokes & not seeing many positive images like me, either.
It would kill me to think I’d ever offend her. Is this one I should avoid or steer clear of?

I think it would only be offensive if kept and used by a bigot. Kids would probably love it. I can see how if you hadn’t seen the whole set you might get pissed off.

As a people we need to stop getting upset about references regarding our looks or heritage. We are who we are Love yourself and appreciate how God made you.

It’s a doll to go along with different eras in music. We get too all up in arms over simple stuff.

Not once in the description did they mention steel wool but it was assumed it was a scrubbing tool. It’s a soft sponge much like any other sponge. I don’t have an issue with it especially since it’s a part of line of washing tools. I think it’s cute.

Think about it! I can’t imagine a designer sitting down to design a cleaning product and think Hmmmm what would be cute and sort of novelty? I get it … a scubber in the image of people’s hair, now that cute! Because people’s hair is just great a cleaning stuff. No No Bella…I think the designer thought about it snickered at the connotation and just to let it pass designed a whole bunch more to appear innocent.

This smells every bit of jackassery to me.

If it’s a sponge then honestly no I’m not offended but if her hair is actually a Brillo pad or suppose to function as one then yes I would consider it insensitive and poorly thought out. Or maybe it was well thought out and the manufactures still decided to go with it…
