What the petition asks
I cannot believe that in 2021 it is still legal to sell a Golliwog Doll.
They are a symbol of racism, an offensive stereotype and an object that has no place in our society anymore. They should be banned and it should be illegal to sell them.
They are a racist caricature and link back to blackfacing in 'The Minstrel Show'. They aren't harmless, they are offensive and damaging.
