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.

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.

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.
