Wal-Mart sells black Barbies at half the price of white ones

From: "Mother Jones.com":http://www.motherjones.com Never let it be said that Wal-Mart doesn't know how to pander for a fast buck. The megachain acknowledged today that it's selling ethnic Barbie dolls for about half of what it charges for Caucasian Barbies. The store was forced into the admission after a Louisiana-based shopper posted a photo, seen here, of the diverse dolls and their respective pricetags side by side in a Wal-Mart. As the good-humored Latino-interest blog Guanabee put it: "The same exact doll, in Caucasian, commands almost double the price! Who says Barbie dolls don't supply young girls with a realistic portrayal of womanhood?"
