Golliwog is a racist in no uncertain terms

Pretty good example of unconscious racism. Wonder if they’d feel the same if there were similar dolls but white. Could even call the female versions Karen.
Edit: yes I realise it lacks the colonialist mockery element.

My boss, who identifies as indigenous
Are they actually indigenous or are they just like those americans who claim they are native american because their grandmother's grandfather once sniffed a Navajo's crotch?

I got into a quite heated debate with two colleagues today... Apparently, Golliwogs are just harmless dolls... I went to town, obvs, but made zero headway... My boss, who identifies as indigenous, has a large collection of gollys at home and thinks that's absolutely fine, she isn't offended at all...
I left the room for a while to clear my head and bumped into my Caribbean colleague who'd just overheard the whole exchange... We both just stood there looking at each other in disbelief...
Australia, my friends... Where white privilege knows no bounds!!
