(THE BLAZE) – Toy company Mattel was bashed online for not including an Asian doll in its Tokyo Olympics Barbie line, and then had to apologize because their Asian Barbie wasn't Asian enough.
The company had previously announced that they would be releasing Barbie dolls to celebrate athletes in the Olympics held in Tokyo, Japan. The five dolls were meant to celebrate the new events added to the Olympics, including a skateboarder.
The campaign was criticized by some people on Twitter who complained that there wasn't an Asian doll in the group, despite the Olympics being held in an Asian country.
