Ridiculous. They're hardly going to be using vindictive pricing. It's only racist if they wield the price as a weapon, for example charging 50 times the price to make a statement.
Plus their pricing probably works on units sold, so if more people buy white the mighty computer might go bink and lower the price of alternatives to shift stock.
People get offended these days because they think they should, even though they don't understand why. I bet those people couldn't even articulate why it was offensive. They should be called out as idiots.Unless you're the lead dog, the scenery never changes.

CUK is obviously racist because it has a white background, I demand a background that celebrates people of colour! I also intend to sue as I feel offended by this heinous slur on our ethnic diversity £3m should do it!
Ditto for Milk & Snow.

Shops always manipulate the price of any goods so they can claim that they have reduced the price later on.
In this example they could have upped the price of the "White" dolls temporarily simply so that they could later drop the prices back to £6.99 enabling them to claim "50% off".Comment

Cost of L'Oreal blonde hair colour is approximately £2.50.
Labour charges for dyeing the black dolls = £0.50. (Done by cheap immigrant labour)
