Austin,
It's my understanding that the doll the girl has is supposed to be her little "twin", hence the large variety of ethnic choices. I must confess that we bought into this cult also. OK, my daughter and her mother did. I was just guilty by association and decided that while I must pick my battles, this was one I was going to lose anyway.
We recently went to Atlanta to support a family member in the national cheerleading competition. There was a conspiracy in the works. Little did I know that they had been planning for weeks to visit the American Girl store on the way back home. Nothing there is cheap. A visit to one of these stores is a great day for a little girl with one of these dolls. For some activities in the store, advance reservations may be required.
You have been warned.
