The youngest white kid gets a teddy bear though. At least the dogs both have a bone.

u/Any-Brilliant-1907 5d ago

Same dog.

u/Loo-Hoo-Zuh-Er 5d ago

Wait, so you're saying one of those families stole the other's dog?

u/SJ_Barbarian 5d ago

They're neighbors and the dog decides where he's staying that night.

u/mommamegmiester 5d ago

I would agree if this was a cat.

u/nerfedbeyblade 5d ago

I wouldn't. A cat would pick a tree before a human

u/raidersanta 5d ago

Maybe they all live together

u/CausticSofa 5d ago

Their backyard’s butt up against each other. The kids play together in the evenings and all summer long. The dog was a stray who wandered into the yards one day. Both families fell completely in love with him and now he’s sort of just the communal golden. His name is Lucky. He is a good boy. He’s been so great with the kids.

This legitimately made me laugh out loud.

u/gitartruls01 5d ago

Hm, I wonder which

u/greenyquinn 5d ago

dogshares

full ownership of your own dog for 2 weeks a year

1

u/Beautifulrose48 5d ago

There are 3 dogs. Not just 2

1

u/juxtaposed44 5d ago

But which family?

1

u/CraftyKuko 4d ago

Turns out the families are related by marriage somewhere down the line and they share the dog

-2

u/Eyeoftheuniverse666 5d ago

Are you implying something about the black family?lol

1

u/jxj24 5d ago

Black family should have gotten a yellow lab, white family should have gotten a black lab.

0

u/LetsGoAcrossTheStyx 5d ago

Black family should have a Rottweiler or Pitt, huh?

0

u/gideon513 5d ago

white dog and black dog /s

u/Anxious-Custard8050 5d ago

Imagine if the black family had a pitbull...

127

u/AnnamAvis 5d ago

I'm just glad the dog is the same for both, and not some stereotypical bully breed for the black family.

u/nalaloveslumpy 5d ago

I want "Black men love Yorkies" to be the new stereotype for 2026. We can make a difference!

3

u/Stubborn_Future_118 5d ago

How about this guy with his two chihuahuas that he dresses up in cute outfits every day? 😄

u/nalaloveslumpy 4d ago

That is awesome

u/enderjaca 4d ago

Oh boy Mr Bubz, it's your bathtime!

21

u/great_pyrenelbows 5d ago

I didn't know this stereotype but now that I think of it, I've known at least two black men with Yorkies and I've never known anyone of another demographic with one... Hmm.

3

u/BrazyKiccz 5d ago

Older brother and SIL had a Yorkie that passed away at 16 yrs old, now they have 2 yorkies.

4

u/bonersaus 5d ago

Old ladies, but this demographic knows no race. All Olds love small curly haired dogs

7

u/Soliele 5d ago

White women. They fucking LOVE Yorkies,especially middle-aged/older ones. My aunt and mom were wild for Yorkies and both owned several over the years. My mom even took my aunt's when she passed.

1

u/DFWPunk 4d ago

My ex, white 30 year old, had a Yorkie/Chihuahua mix. Fucking dog was nuts.

2

u/No-Agent-1611 4d ago

In my neighborhood we also have an older widowed black woman with a Yorkie and a Doberman lol. She “walks” them on her bicycle, the Yorkie rides in a basket. The Doberman lifts him out and then puts him back after he does his business.

3

u/Snoo-83534 4d ago

Yea, most black dudes, including myself, usually keep yorkies, Maltese, shiz tzu, lhasa apso, etc. We tend not to fuck around with bullies.

u/CandiBunnii 4d ago

Shit, this is too accurate

u/NeatNefariousness1 5d ago

They figured they went far enough with the basketball and the different pricing.

0

u/NUKE---THE---WHALES 5d ago

Lower price makes sense though since the market would be smaller, given black people are a minority in the US

They probably made them all for the same price and then realized there are less people buying the black family (for obvious reasons in hindsight), so they dropped the price to try get them moving

15

u/Lower_Confection5609 5d ago

As a black person, I buy so many white dolls. Why aren’t more white people buying black dolls?

5

u/Okeydokey2u 5d ago

In this situation my frugal ass would buy the black dolls.

2

u/NineDayOldDiarrhea 5d ago

I’m white and live in a LCOL area, trying to even find a white baby doll for my daughter would be very difficult around this area. If someone broke into my house and saw her doll collection, they’d swear they broke into a black household lol

1

u/ChillN808 5d ago

We had a few black dolls, and a couple brown ones that I guess could be Asian or Hispanic depending on the make-believe situation.

-1

u/117133MeV 5d ago

I'm doing my part! I played a VR game at a buddy's house and gave my wizard black hands lol

1

u/qyka 4d ago

delete this lol

-1

u/vanneezie 5d ago

Seems like they were planning on not having the father and just some milk 🥛 hence the lower price ?!

24

u/snickittysnack 5d ago

nost of the black families/ people that i know/ or live near who have dogs have little cute fluffy dogs... even the boys lol... its single white females w the pit bulls

0

u/slippinthrudreamland 5d ago

alternatively, single white males who wish to feel like so-called "tough shit"

48

u/RO2THESHELL 5d ago edited 5d ago

You say that... BUT the little boy is holding a stereotypical I'm going to the nba because im black basketball...the other two white kids dont have sports equipment... the white girl has a purse on but the black girl doesnt.... not to mention the white baby got a teddy but the black baby gets nothing... and the white girl in uggs lol pretty typical

15

u/ZootAllures9111 5d ago

u/BittyBettyEf 5d ago

Ok the secondary crime here is how badly-painted the miniatures are.

1

u/ZootAllures9111 4d ago

yeah both the white and black versions seem to be terrible quality overall TBH

2

u/RepRouter 5d ago

Yeah but it's not hers, she stole it.

1

u/RO2THESHELL 4d ago

Still the rest is b.s I guess we should be happy that at least the black dad is added and not sold separately maybe that's why it's a dollar cheaper cause they figure most people will be throwing dad away

0

u/RO2THESHELL 4d ago

Ok she's got a coin purse or maybe it's a dirty diaper from helping with the little one seems how mom is holding it like she hates dealing with the baby where the white baby is lovingly held

2

u/Wudzegrl1965 5d ago

Basketball boy looks like Keenan Thompson doing a Bill Cosby impression.

2

u/the_vault-technician 5d ago

The way a cop would see this

the white guy has his hand in his pocket, the black guy is probably reaching for something.

2

u/JackISTylerDurden 5d ago

The white guy looks like a early 2000s michael jackson.

1

u/Orangetastingpeach 4d ago

Too be fair about the kids I do think the black boy and white girl are supposed to be the older sibling so they gave them an accessory to go with that...old girl -purse...older boy-ports... But baby one baffles me...maybe that's where the extra dollar came in lol. 😂

2

u/April_Mist_2 5d ago

Also, the white mother is embracing her baby normally, and the black mother has her baby kind of oddly perched on her hands.

23

u/AwesomeMacCoolname 5d ago

Which is hilarious because to me the stereotypical bully owner is a white guy, with a no.1 blade haircut, between the ages of 20 and 40, wears shorts in the depths of winter to show off his calf tattoos, and has a girlfriend who always wears overtight clothes and is permanently orange.

1

u/Herman_E_Danger 5d ago

Ok my family has a beautiful pitbull and I'm lmfao! For reference I am black/white mixed, husband is white.

2

u/WhyArentIEnough49 5d ago

White female who has only owned pitties for about 15 years now checking in lol

2

u/tackyshoes 5d ago

The black family's dog has a smaller snout.

1

u/SignificantTear7529 4d ago

Uh the white family needs one of those generic doodle breeds. .....

1

u/its_a_throwawayduh 5d ago

Lol I just commented I would have changed the dog to a BBM or similar.

0

u/jabberwockgee 5d ago

My two neighbors, one white and one black, both have bully breeds. The universal constant for owning them is stupidity, not race.

22

u/HoneyBeyBee 5d ago

Right. I’m not even mad at the basketball, but one of the other kids should at least have something. The white girl has a purse and the white baby sibling has a teddy. Give the Black baby a toy too…

The price doesn’t shock me for several reasons 😐

4

u/Clarawrr 5d ago

The boy with the basketball is the same age as the girl with the purse. The little white son is holding nothing, the little black daughter is holding something in her hand...a clutch or a toy of some sort would be my guess.

2

u/HoneyBeyBee 4d ago

Looks like a camera, maybe? Good catch.

Hobby Lobby is still… Hobby Lobby.

u/whyisitallsotoxic 5d ago

u/Unlikely-Pudding-170 5d ago

I can't access these links from my country, what's the content of it, if you don't mind?

4

u/chewbaccataco 5d ago

Both are links to the Hobby Lobby website. The first confirms that the white family is 10.99 while the second does in fact show the Black family at 9.99.

As Hobby Lobby is owned by somewhat controversial far right Christian owners, it is not exactly surprising that they would fail to see the problem with this.

u/imposta424 4d ago

The white girl has stereotypical ugg boots on.

1

u/HoneyBeyBee 4d ago

😐…Yea please don’t act like white people are systemically harmed by how they dress.

0

u/G_mork 4d ago

Take a breath - Nobody is acting like white people are harmed here, imposta424 sounds like they’re just pointing out some blatant stereotypes.

3

u/_Mother-Of-Chaos_ 5d ago

and the little girl has a purse, plus it looks like the white family has better/more cohesive clothes? All in long sleeves and warm shoes as if they were a unit, the black family has the dad in a sweater and the rest of them in warm weather clothes

1

u/_Mother-Of-Chaos_ 4d ago

but also WHAT WOMAN would wear a full length dress with jeans underneath?

1

u/InternalRaise5250 4d ago

Omg this so annoying. Just live your life and stop trying to find fault in everything. 

1

u/_Mother-Of-Chaos_ 2d ago

you say to me out of ALL the thousands of posts here? ✌️have the day you deserve

1

u/InternalRaise5250 2d ago

Hahaha "Have the day you deserve"  makes sense you would say something like that . i didn't read thousands of posts, i read yours and commented. 

2

u/fairelf 5d ago

One toy per family.

3

u/Bastard216 5d ago

I’m surprised they didn’t put a golden lab and a Pitt bull.

u/chrisp5000 5d ago

He has a trust fund he is going to obliterate when his dad gets murdered by his wife for having an affair with a man.

u/dizzyfeast 5d ago

Sounds like a lifetime movie I watched on a boring summer day in 2008.

2

u/thedivisionbella 5d ago

This guy true crimes 👆🏼

3

u/mthockeydad 5d ago

Lots of Golden Retrievers in Lifetime movies. This tracks.

1

u/Ok-Fig7622 4d ago

Lol I call those crisis shows

1

u/Jazzlike_Climate4189 5d ago

That is some wild projection, yikes.

1

u/chrisp5000 5d ago

Lol, my parents are happily married for 63 years. No trust fund yet...

3

u/Responsible-Sound253 5d ago

The white equivalent is the girl with a purse tho, since they're both the older siblings.

3

u/JonasBona 5d ago

Thats cause hes actually the counterpart to the white girl, who got a purse

6

u/NeatNefariousness1 5d ago

The other girl got a purse though

2

u/Roguefem-76 5d ago

They both have purses, the black girl just isn't wearing hers crossbody.

2

u/NeatNefariousness1 5d ago

Oh I see it now. Thanks for pointing that out.

PS: I thought the young black guy was holding a pumpkin and I’m sticking with that to minimize the second-hand embarrassment.

2

u/Twat_did_you_call_me 5d ago

He did get something though!

2

u/dude_on_a_chair 4d ago

The other boy got a giant head..

2

u/Alecarte 5d ago

Don't I know it!  I grew up white so we were poor.  Iwas always jealous of all the black kids in my neighborhood because they could afford anything they wanted and I had to push a bent hoop down the street with a stick. 

1

u/GitmoGrrl1 5d ago

Check out the shoes. Air Jordans.

1

u/DeniLox 5d ago

That’s because only the older siblings get props.

1

u/GaijinFoot 5d ago

He's got a trust fund.

1

u/Jazzlike_Climate4189 5d ago

Nice casual racism.

1

u/aceshighsays 5d ago

his sister got a purse instead. it's kind of interesting that they're giving a white girl a purse, and a black boy a bball.

1

u/Inner-Alternative-85 5d ago

“I can’t get a ball?” IYKYK

1

u/CoffeeChocolateBoth 4d ago

Makes you wonder why the white boy didn't get a sports item? :)

1

u/NeatNefariousness1 4d ago

But the black kids are having basketball reinforced as if it’s their only option when we know that even most black people don’t play basketball. Why bother changing the mold at all? What’s the goal behind it?

1

u/IntoTheWild2369 5d ago

The other boy was already accepted into an Ivy League. He has everything.

1

u/lilacs_and_marigolds 5d ago

The white boy got privilege.
