"The depictions were clearly flawed: Several of the Asian Barbies were light-skinned; Thailand Barbie, Singapore Barbie, and the Philippines Barbie all had blonde hair."

Who is making assumptions here? My Asian gf has lighter skin than me (Northern European). Also, it is not uncommon for Asians to dye their hair.

I would guess Barbie cosplayers anywhere in the world would attempt to look like the og Barbie: Slender, dyed blond, caucasian female in pink coloured dresses.
I have over 700 Barbie dolls and accessories.

The originals from the 50s have red hair and polka dotted swimsuits.

No blonde hair or pink dresses :)

I should have said iconic, not og ;)
