Racist 'GollyDolly' on display in The Doll Store.

category dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Thursday June 30, 2011 11:20author by Residents Against Racism - Residents Against Racismauthor email rar.info at yahoo dot com Report this post to the editors

Over the last few weeks Residents Against Racism have received numerous complaints regarding a blatant display of Gollywog Dolls in front of a Dublin shop window.
Front of Shop
Front of Shop

On walking past we were as surprised to see these dolls on display.

The term Gollywog is used as a racist slur in Western Countries against those of African origin or descent or Dark skinned people. The Doll itself is a racist caricature against black males. It is deeply offensive with links to slavery, racism and imperialism.

Residents Against Racism have submitted a letter of complaint to the shop without response. We will persist until these racist dolls are removed.

More to come with updates.
