These "Black" Toys - not so Toyish


hepingjie bie kou; beijing, china

It is still uncommon to see African or Black people in china - much less in beijing- unless you are in Sanlitun/Embassy Area or a tourist area. So most regular beijingers only see images of Africans and Blacks from American TV shows - hmmm and we all know that the images usually involve them either singing, killing, doing drugs, dancing, or acting like complete clowns.
This store sells "love" things - like cutsey teddy bears and fun toys. Interesting to see that it's only these two "reggae" colored charicatures who are dancing and smoking reefers - and oh yes singing "row-row-row your boat."
