* ButNotTooBlack: Averted. [[http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2016/09/the_making_of_addy_walker_american_girl_s_first_black_doll.html One article]] shares that some executives first wanted to give Addy straighter hair to make it "easier" for white girls unaccustomed to textured hair to play with. The advisory board finally said that while some children born into slavery did have straight hair and other "white" features, giving these to the character would necessitate explaining [[ChildByRape exactly why that was]]. The matter was promptly dropped.
