Well I am white a mix of colombian and swedish but born here and definitely considered white, blonde and green eyes. and as a little girl one christmas all i wanted was a black cabbage patch kid doll. I dont remember if there was a reasone why because i was really young but i insisted on the black doll.I grew up in the suburbs not very diverse, but my mom raised me to be accepting of everybody. i would have picked a black cabbage patch doll over any white one anyday.
PS I did get a black doll and she was my favorite!!

I agree with this as a problem of how kids view themselves, I grew up and I grew into a thicker hourglass figure, with a booty that I find gets much more appreciated by black men then white. I feel more accepted and like I fit in better then with my own culture. I mostly date black men, and transferred college from Massachusetts to Brooklyn NY which is way more diverse so who knows if I started feeling like this back then or if I just liked the doll.
