   Havn't been to Waiheke for 20+ years, but on the TO DO list to get a Golliwog or 2!! Love it had one as a kid, can't see anything racist in them, they are a doll after all. PC BS gone mad. Stick to your guns and don't back down with the s..t stirring trolls. SB needs a history lesson on where Golliwogs originated. Look in the mirror SB and you will see the racist staring back at you!

   Am appalled that the owner thinks it’s okay to sell offensive dolls that mock people. That’s why the African American tourists were shocked. Those dolls do not represent chinmey sweepers they were designed to mock the African Americans. Will not shop there

   How sad that people are giving this shop a one star based on the sale of Golliwogs. I am giving them a 5 star based on service, Artistic designs and fabulous clothing selection. My opinion of the dolls has nothing to do with the excellent service I received.

   Nope, selling golliwogs is racist and unacceptable. If you have to 'get in very quick to only black Americans' so they can 'understand it' when you see the look on their faces as the owner stated in the newspaper article, then surely it should be blatently obvious how deeply offensive these things are. The owner's attitude is one of entitled, white privilege and a willful ignorance of what golliwogs actually represent. Utterly disgraceful. I can only hope that tourists or anyone else will choose to spend their money elsewhere. And Robert Q you're also a moron.
