Racial Stereotypes: Golliwogs

A golliwog (also known as a golly) is an old-fashioned child's doll, made of soft material, dressed like a little man, with a black face and with big white eyes and black hair, standing out round its face.
Many people who are against racism find golliwogs offensive because they show an old-fashioned stereotype of black people, but many other people think that golliwogs are just toys and their appearance is not important.
