Walmart: Black Barbie Sold Cheaper Than White Barbie at Store - ABC News

"Walmart is raising eyebrows after
cutting the price of a black Barbie doll to nearly half of that of the doll's white counterpart
at one store and possibly others. Walmart priced a dark-skinned Barbie
cheaper than a light-skinned Barbie. (http://www.funnyjunk.com/funny_pictures/224187/Wal+Mart+Fail/) More PhotosA photo first posted to the
humor Web site FunnyJunk.com and later to the Latino Web site Guanabee.com shows
packages of Mattel's Ballerina Barbie and Ballerina Teresa dolls
hanging side by side at an unidentified store. The Teresa dolls, which feature brown skin
and dark hair, are marked as being on sale at $3.00. The Barbies to the right of the
Teresa dolls, meanwhile, retain their original price of $5.93. The dolls look identical
aside from their color. Editors at Guanabee.com said the person
responsible for the photo told the Web site that it was taken at a Louisiana Walmart store.
The person did not return e-mails from ABCNews.com.
A Walmart spokeswoman, who could not verify the exact store shown in the photo, said that the price
change on the Teresa doll was part of the chain's efforts to clear shelf space for
its new spring inventory. 'To prepare for (s)pring inventory, a number
of items are marked
for clearance, ' spokeswoman Melissa O'Brien
said in an e-mail..Both are great dolls. The red price sticker
indicates that this particular doll was on clearance when
the photo was taken, and though both dolls were
priced the same to start, one was marked down
due to its lower sales"
