Best Answer

The "Golliwogg" (later "Golliwog") is a rag doll-like, children's literary character created by Florence Kate Upton in the late 19th century. The Golliwogg was inspired by a blackface minstrel doll Upton had as a child in America. At one point it was very popular in Europe and as a result has become a collector's item. However, the image of the doll has become the subject of heated debate.

What is a pollywog environment?

We need a bit more information on this one: You mean environment - or the surroundings. But Pollywog? You could mean 'polyxxx' where 'poly' means 'lots of different'. For example, 'Polyglot' is a person who can speak lots of languages. Or perhaps 'Gollywog' which is a politically incorrect doll from old times that was supposed to look like an African American in slavery times.


Why cant stereotyping be stopped?

It's human nature to group like things together. Its a shorthand, if we didn't have it jokes wouldn't work. Though it obviously has a negative side. But we have come along a long way from racial stereotypes, as a child gollywog dolls were common and I saw on harm in them, but when I viewed the Victorian Sambo books that had made them popular I could understand why they were offensive in extreme.
