Black Barbie costs less $$

-
Right now at Walmart shoppers can buy a black Barbie doll for half the price of a regular blond, blue-eyed Barbie doll. Theresa, as the pigment endowed counterpart is named, is on sale at $3 while Malibu-esque Barbie retails for $5.93. And the problem is...what? Shouldn't this be a good thing...or am I just a cheap, stingy so-and-so?
Well, okay, I am a cheap so-and-so but, notwithstanding, shouldn't paying less be a good thing? Especially during #!%@! economic recession!

Never mind the two dolls were initially priced the same before seasonal re-inventory affected markdowns I do not see where a racist controversy is afoot. It seems to me, black Barbies should cost less anyway since it's not black families living large in Malibu and vanilla suburbs.
