The guests said the offensive dolls had tarnished their visit to the tourist market.
Two women have been ordered to stop selling racist souvenirs in New Zealand after local authorities received complaints from American tourists.
According to Stuff, British and American visitors to the market in Picton said the dolls were “offensive and racist” and marred their trip to the town, which is located on the north coast of New Zealand’s South Island. But the manager of Marlborough District Council's reserves and amenities services, Jane Tito, noted the ban was not yet confirmed and said permission for white dolls had not been granted.
Following the Picton incident, the organization’s Chief Commissioner Paul Hunt said the dolls “perpetuate the sort of stereotypes which often underpin racism.” He added, “Progress is about leaving behind us those things that no longer reflect the kind of people we are.”
