Best Answer

Generally speaking the issue is not with Barbie but with the idea of telling little girls that tall, thin, big chested, blue eyed, and white is the idea of beauty and thus anyone who doesn't look like this is not beautiful - it can add to body-issues as girls who don't fit this idea of beauty may feel bad about themselves or try to change themselves. On the flip side Barbie would be fine if there was more diversity among dolls and other childrens toys, also Barbie has had various job roles.
