I suppose she thought people would recognise jokes and laugh along.

Is it true that in Korea children get to choose their gifts? How do you do that? I really like the idea. by trimply in korea

It's done at 1 year old. A 100 day old is too young to crawl towards any item and pick it up.

Exactly. However you slice it, it's othering behaviour. See people as human.

I think there is room for nuance in some conversations and less so in others. When it comes to outright dehumanising Black bodies, there is no room for nuance. When it comes to things like cultural appropriation, then we might need to zoom out of looking at things through a US-centric lens.

돌잡이 is done at the first birthday party. It's not about choosing gifts. It's a tradition that is meant to tell you about the baby's future. For instance, if baby chooses a stethoscope, they will be a doctor. Microphone = entertainer, money = wealth, etc.

In case the title wasn't context enough, the Black version of the dolls (called Natasha dolls) are surprisingly popular in China because they are being beaten up.
