The first black Barbie went on sale in 1980, the first plus-size Barbie in 2016 and a Barbie with Down syndrome arrived in this April. A wheelchair using Barbie appeared in 2019, replacing her wheelchair using friend Share-A-Smile Becky from 1997, who disappeared from shelves after complaints the doll couldn’t fit into the Dreamhouse.

Barbie movie previews, featuring black actor Issa Rae and transgender actor Hari Nef as Barbies, show that director Greta Gerwig will tackle representation, but Robbie is the lead. It’s Robbie’s bouncy blond hair, model figure and flirty dresses representing the original doll we see on the red carpet, not the inclusive iterations.

I dare Margot Robbie to attend the next premiere in blackface, wearing a fatsuit, in a wheelchair and pretending to be mentally disabled.
