This analysis sharply deconstructs the "Natasha doll" trend, exposing how deep-seated colorism persists in Asian societies even without direct racial contact. It moves beyond the "ignorance" excuse to confront the systemic dehumanization embedded in modern cultural consumption.

Asians Call Out Their Own In Defense Of BlackPeople Over Viral NATASHA DOLL Trend In ChinaAdded:
Natasha videos of a viral trend coming out of China is presently making the rounds on the internet because of how disgusting what these people are doing is because you see they started this trend where they use this black baby doll that they have nicknamed Natasha for stress relief. These videos have sparked major controversies because the doll looks like a little black baby. And in a lot of the clips coming out of China right now, we see them literally torturing, abusing these dolls, stomping on it, hitting it with various objects. Some of them are stretching it out in weird ways that looks very uncomfortable to watch.
We see them running these dolls over with their cars, beating it.
Double kill.
Like, what is wrong with these people?
This is incredibly disturbing.
>> Some of the dolls in these videos have metal rings around their ankles which look like shackles but have been marketed as accessories. This is not random. There's a market for this. These dolls are being manufactured, promoted, and sold to a non-black audience because black suffering and black caricatures are marketed as entertainment. I live in China. I study Chinese. I love the language and the culture. And that's exactly why I can't stay silent on this.
I don't think anything in this world is more pervasive than anti-blackness, and it's disgusting. How this relieves stress, I don't know. But this is the weird is the Chinese over there in China are doing right now. They are literally torturing these dolls, stomping these dolls out, beating these dolls, and doing all sorts of heinous things to a black doll baby.
If this is not cha mixed with race, then I don't know what is.
The Chinese population in China is Chinese people.
They are not even in close proximity to black people like that.
So what in the is going on? What would prompt them to do this? And then when we say everybody is obsessed with black people, they say, "Oh, you're lying. No one likes you. We all have black fatigue."
When we say people are delusional and it is nothing but pure projection when they talk about how we operate through the world and how we treat people and how we're dangerous and how we're a threat to society when it's literally the people that are pointing the finger, three are pointing back at them because what would what the what on God's green earth would make Chinese people make a doll and call it the Natasha doll just to torture it and beat it up for stress relief. A little black baby doll.
Interesting fact that I found this doll comes in multiple colors, but then somehow very conveniently when it's time for them to do their quote unquote stress relieving with these dolls for the trend, it's only the black dolls that they are using. Whoever this company is or whatever created a new doll um with a different kind of therapeutic aesthetic. They call this doll Natsa. The the description for this doll is has dark skin, simple and rough features, and always looks like she's just letting it rot. Um, this doll is the total opposite of those perfect polished influencer dolls. Young people find her ugly cute and use her to relieve their stress. So basically what they did was they created a minstrel black doll to beat the [ __ ] out of when they're feeling bad about themselves or anything going on in their lives. Mind you, this is in a country that is 92% Han Chinese.
92%. And the other 8% is different types of Asian. So I personally don't want to hear the oh it's a homogeneous nation.
They don't know what they doing. They don't mean it like that because these people know exactly what they are doing.
I'm so bloody freaking sick and tired of people infantilizing grown adults. It's bloody 2026 for crying out loud. I don't know why they still make excuses for this behavior. The people who do, that's who I'm speaking to right now. I don't know why they still do this. Like we are not falling for it. I mean, let's be for real. We're talking about a country where I learned some years back, was it two years ago, that they have basically commercialize theirism. So what they do is they make buy and sell videos of black people and they pass them on to each other making fun of these black people in group chats and whatnot, right? I made a video on this some years back. Like there's literally a marketplace online in China where you can go buy and sell rate to the sis content. So of course they are doing this right now, this weird um trend with this doll in 2026. Of course they are doing this. Why do these dolls that are used for therapeutic reasons for you to relieve stress have to look like anything or anyone? Why isn't it just like another like random lab boou looking thing? Why are you guys painting the DOLL'S FACE WHITE? YOU BOUGHT THE BLACK doll and then painted it white.
And this isn't me overthinking this or blowing it out of proportion or making it worse than it is. This is just simply racist and it's disgusting. Honestly, the way black people live in these people's minds needs to be studied. The obsession needs to be studied. It's weird. It's old. It's tiring. It's sickening. I'm over it. Honestly, it's crazy to me that we still have to have these conversations in big 2026. Like, come on. My goodness. I'm tired.
>> Doing all sorts of demonic debauchery with this black baby doll. Yet, people swear for God that we are the worst thing that happened to planet Earth.
We've not done anything to anybody to subjugate them, denigrate them, disenfranchise them. What? What is like?
And then we keep saying, well, what is the problem? What is the problem? It has to be pure jealousy and envy and just rac because there's no excuse for this. There's no excuse.
There aren't even black people in China like that for them to be doing this globally.
Everyone has an issue with black people.
And then you'll be like, "Oh, well, if everybody has an issue, then maybe you're the problem." No, maybe we are the source.
It got to be jealousy. It has to be because what else is the reason for this?
And and just blatant race. They are not even in proximity to black people like that in China. Yet they're taking delight in torturing a black baby doll.
Let that sink in. What do y'all think about this? Sound off sound off in the comments below because this is just like spread love to Brooklyn. Like child, everybody globally has a gripe with black people, particularly black Americans, because the name Natasha, that's a black American name. Like they're not named Natasha over on the continent. You don't hear too many Natashas in South America or in the Caribbean. That sounds like a black American's name.
This is crazy. I would like to correct sis on her there are no Natasha on the continent comments because we do have Natashas over here. And at the end of the day, we are all black. So whether or not any group of us is bearing Natasha like that or not, it would not even matter because these people when they hate on black people, they don't make distinctions in their brain. They're not going, "Oh, I hate on black Americans, but I love Africans, right? Or I hate on Africans and I love the Caribbean black people." So, it's we all black. They see us all the same and they hate us equally. And that brings me to the point of I wonder what it's like for the black people in these countries, honestly.
Like, imagine being a black person or a mixed half black person in China right now. This has got to be so annoying and heartbreaking to have to watch being online just scrolling wanting to have a good time and you be coming by these weird videos on the internet.
>> This cute black baby squishy toy is super fun for stress relief. Perfect small gift. Tap the link below to get yours now.
>> One thing you should know about me is that I am a really bad liar. So, I would be lying to you if I were to tell you that I was surprised that there are people in China using a black doll that they call the Natasha doll as a stress toy to relieve their stress. That's a lie. I am not surprised. The anti-blackness in Asia is very rampant.
Asian people here in the United States, we can sit here and infantilize our people back home and claim that they live in monolithic countries and that's why they do stuff like this cuz they're unaware. But the truth of the matter is black people are global. They aren't confined to one continent or one country. Black people travel. Black people move to different countries.
There are in fact black people who live in Asia. So to claim that the people back home in our homelands are just unaware, it's disingenuous.
>> And another reason why this whole, oh, it's a homogeneous nation. They are just ignorant. They don't know what they are doing. They don't know the history behind it and why it is wrong. Arguments would never fly with me is because I'm from a homogeneous nation. Why don't we see this same level of weirdish coming out of homogenous nations on the African continent as well. Why is it that we know how to be respectful of people and not degrade them and be rate to dece people but somehow everybody know how to be to the toss us and they can always run under this umbrella of oh we are from a homogeneous nation we don't know we are from homogeneous nations too. So why don't we have the same level of craziness, wickedness, and vile viteral nonsense that we see coming out of their countries, coming out of our homogeneous nations as well. That's how you know that this is not ignorance because we too have people in our country who we can say are not as educated, right?
People who are not as exposed, quote unquote, people who don't maybe know better, but they don't do this weird Asian line. So why do they? It is because they know what they are doing.
It's not because of ignorance. If it's just ignorance or not being exposed, we would have been doing the same issue as well. But we are not.
>> One thing I need Asian people in the Asian diaspora and back in Asia to realize is that the colorism that we face is a result of the anti-blackness that runs deep in our community. In order for us to find a way to combat the colorism, we must face the fact that we also need to combat the anti-blackness because anti-blackness and colorism are intertwined with one another. While anti-blackness is something that has been global due to white colonialism, colorism within the Asian diaspora is a result of the colorism that was in Asia before white colonizers even came into the picture. And this is something that we see today here in the United States as well. We have Asian people who are being platformed. And the rhetoric that they spill is anti-black as [ __ ] >> Like to be clear, it's not really up for debate now. George Floyd died of a fentinel overdose. Like we have we have the the autopsy right here. It's reported no life-threatening injuries identified. So it's not like he's like couldn't bring it because he was being >> We all know the percentage of people who voted for the man in office. But there's something that we all need to realize, and that is the fact that it's not just one sub community within the Asian community that has right-wing ideologies. It's our entire community.
And I say our entire community because until we get this right, it's our entire community.
There's a lot of Asian-Americans who get on this app and complain about the model minority myth and how it's not real. But the truth of the matter is the amount of people in our community who are apolitical and choose not to speak up when things go wrong within this country is too much. And those people are the people who are upholding the model minority myth. People like to blame the people who are on the far right, but the truth of the matter is it's the people who are apolitical in our community that is holding us back because their complicity is fueling the fire that ignites the systems of oppression that keeps people oppressed here in the United States and globally.
>> Shout out to this creator. She came with a lot of receipts. Good thing we are seeing Asians coming out to hold their people back home accountable. Chinese people have been up to so here I am.
People in China have posted videos of themselves physically abusing black dolls. Like, it's normal behavior and they're just like, "Oh, this is what I do after a stressful day at work. Are you out of your mind?" What have black people ever done to you? Have you ever met one? Have you ever met one and not acted like a complete weirdo around them? Have you actually like ever had a black friend? Probably not. But today, I wanted to talk about where a lot of the anti-blackness in Chinese culture comes from, specifically Chinese. First, there's our language. The way we talk about the sun, going out in the sun, the bua is something that every Chinese kid has heard from their parents. It literally means do not turn black.
Collocally, it means do not get tan. But verbatim, word for word, it means do not turn black. Oh yeah, and if you get too tan, your parents will say that you look like a black person as an insult. I don't want to hear any of you saying this to your kids. If you hear any of your friends saying it to their kids, say something about it. If your parents say it to you, say something about it.
We can talk about protecting our skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays without resorting to race. But the thing is, I don't even think the majority of them that are having this don't go into the sun conversation with their kids is doing it because they don't want their kids to have cancer or they want to protect their kids from the harsh rays of the sun, right? It's coming from an antilack, I don't want to be dark skinned place. It's not coming from a health place. It's colorism for the most part in my humble opinion because I grew up watching movies and dramas from Asia.
I mean, for crying out loud, these people in some of their movies have used mixed people, mixed Asians to play characters that are supposed to be from like pre-colonial time. One particular Filipino drama comes to mind. I've forgotten the name, but I'm going to look for it and put it on the screen so I can show you guys what I'm talking about. I remember watching this drama and finding it very strange that these people decided to cast a Miss Filipina to play the main character in this drama series with a story line that is supposed to be based and set on like pre-colonial times. Why didn't this role go to someone who isn't mixed because they would have been the one to best fit the role and the era that they are talking about here? Why did they cast an obviously woman a half Spanish woman for this role? The reason why is colorism.
The whiter the better is a mindset.
Yeah. Hence why this happened. And it's the same reason why this role could not have gone to in any universe a half black Filipina because of colorism. Then all of a sudden they would understand why a mixed person should not be playing the role. But when it's a mixed white person, I bet you know they can look the other way because the priority here is the whiter the better. Even if it comes at the expense of being historically inaccurate, they don't care. I learned recently that in Bollywood they sometimes cast pure white people to play Indians in their movies.
>> My name is Amy Jackson and I'm an actress. As you can tell I'm from Liverpool. I've got a strong accent and I've traveled the world with my career shot over 15 movies in India.
>> Like you really cannot make this is up.
The level of selfhatred at play here that causes for situations like this to happen, it's on promax level. I'm telling you. Besides damaging the self-esteem of millions of girls, brown girls growing up, colorism has also robbed us of true beautiful faces that people think that anyone who has fair skin is automatically and beautiful.
When in reality, so many of these actors and actresses, the newer ones in Bollywood are, you know, they're okay to look at, but they have zero appeal. Like exactly zero appeal. Anytime I talk about Simon Ashley, a lot of people seem to comment saying that she's not even a Bollywood actress, but there are very few examples of this skin tone, you know, and she's literally now cast in Devil Wears Prada, too. Um, and there are so many iconic movies that she's a part of, but we still don't have anyone with this skin tone who's working in a Bollywood movie other than the side roles. There are still, you know, actresses, models who are in Bollywood and auditioning who are duskier. and they share their stories about how all of the roles that they get offered are like of a maid or someone of like, you know, who's doing, I don't know, house work in movies. They don't get any substantial work. It's truly laughable to think that movies and directors and producers expect us to believe that this is a representation of a brown woman.
Like here, I was complaining about Katrina Kev, who is allegedly probably not half brown like she claims. And there's Amy Jackson, who is fully British, you know, who is signed in South Indian movies to play South Indian roles. I haven't watched a lot of her movies to say enough about it. All I have to say is that it must have taken a lot of brainwashing to convince people that this is not beautiful um and to make them feel like they have to change something about them to be more beautiful. You I mean think about it.
They had us convinced that Bipasha Basu is not a lead actress material and she had to be used as a second lead in so many movies because of her fair like dusky skin. And I don't know what it would take for directors, for casting people to realize that, you know, fair skin does not equal fair skin does not equal beauty. Like appeal is such a rare thing. Like when someone has a spark, someone has that, you know, light in their eyes. It's it's a really rare thing. And it's not even just about that. It's also about representation.
Like why can't young girls, you know, see someone who looks like them represented in a movie?
>> Colorism and antilackness would really be the undoing of black and brown people. I've also seen a Korean drama where they were basically calling a little boy a child in the drama adult.
So, by the way, ugly because he was of darker complexion. And I remember thinking how weird it was to be saying that about a little boy, a child in a movie. I mean, what message exactly are you sending to the little boys and girls out there that have the same complexion as he? But, you know, these people don't care. Whiteness, paleness, whatever [ __ ] the whitest skin as possible is the goal. that's what they see as beautiful and they go to different measures to get it. And yes, I know two things can be right at the same time. So there are people for sure who try to avoid the sun because it can be harmful and they are most certainly other people who avoid the sun because they specifically don't want to get darker.
And just to put it out there, I'm not saying this is an Asian only problem because this colorism is a global problem, right? Even on the continent.
But right now, we're talking about Asia and the weirdness that's coming out of there. So, let's stay on topic. When we're talking about Africa and the weirdness that comes out of here as relates to colorism and whatever else, then we're going to address that. But, let's get back to her video.
>> Not wanting to get skin cancer is race neutral, is not colorist, but saying you got so dark you look like a black person, that's really weird. Um, and every Chinese person has heard it at least once. Chinese people as a collective have also learned anti-blackness from their colonizers, like from our mutual hater. And they think that [ __ ] on black people will somehow make them whiter. Like I hear Chinese people in China and in the US just pariting the most harmful stereotypes that white people had just made up about black people. When white people aren't even saying those things anymore, they have learned neoliberalism. They have learned to say, "I don't see color." They've learned to hide their racism at least a little better. And then Chinese people are out here doing the work for white people.
Thought we were done with the century of humiliation. What are you guys doing?
And this is hurting actual Chinese and black people inside our community. There are black and Chinese mixed people who y'all don't even consider Chinese because they have African ancestry. But what's causing us to cannibalize our own? No. I spend a lot of my time on this app like [ __ ] on K-pop groups for being um but Chinese people have no excuse this time. You shagas better get online and start apologizing or else And another thing is that these behaviors coming out of Asia, coming out of anywhere makes it so hard to navigate and enjoy life like fully enjoy the pleasures and things that exist in our present world because they hate And the disrespect is just so much. You can't even want to visit a country without having to think about oh my goodness like are they ready to desist over there? You are so unsure and having to constantly maybe be nervous while on the trip because any second now you could see something like this on the internet while you are there or you could have like a rate to the encounter because you choose to go over there for vacation.
Hell, you can't even enjoy a movie or a drama anymore because of just how racism people are. Because next thing you know, they're either perpetuating negative stereotypes or totally disrespecting your entire continent. Like, it's just so unfair that this is how black people have to navigate this planet. Constantly being on edge, if I can put it that way, wondering and worrying about what crazy thing are these people going to do next.
I consume a lot of East Asian media whether that's anime, Kdramas or C dramas. My primary focus is C dramas and that is very evident if you scroll through my page. So imagine my disgust, my frustration, my anger when I learned what the Natasha doll is and saw that it was trending on Shiao Hong Shu on Rednote that it was gaining traction in China. A caricature doll of a black child is being used as a stress reliever. People are throwing it, flinging it, stepping on it, stretching it out, mushing it up, abusing it any which way. That is incredibly dehumanizing. It is degenerate behavior.
And I could never fathom the level of race and antilackness that other POC's have towards black people when we are not the reason, when we are not the cause for any of the atrocities committed against them. It doesn't make sense. I don't understand it. It will never not perplex me. It will never not baffle me. Anything else other than that Natasha doll would have been a great stress reliever, stress ball. Y'all could have picked anything else. You could have picked them damn ugly lab boooos. But instead, y'all show more respect and reverence towards those laboos that look like creatures that crawled out of the pits of hell than you would towards a doll that imitates a black child. And I'm supposed to think that's okay. That's supposed to be acceptable. Absolutely not. The imperialization, the colonization, the exploitation that took place in East Asia, the hundred years of humiliation that China experienced, that century of humiliation, that wasn't committed by any black person, by any African nation.
Last I checked, that was done by the Europeans, by them white people. But y'all never have smoke for our shared oppressor. Instead, y'all have smoke for us. Your fellow oppresse, your fellow oppressed. And that makes no sense. And this right here is why I find myself I used to love K dramas, right? Korean dramas. But lately, I find myself not even want to watch their movies anymore because I just can't for the life of me shake off my mind how weird, hateful, and disrespectful they've been towards black people. I've seen very few Asian, Asian-American, Chinese, Chinese Americans speak out on this or discuss it at all or bring it to their platform.
And I'm not necessarily surprised or shocked by that. That is of their own free will and valition. They can do whatever they want. But I will say it is a reflection of their ideals, their beliefs, their character, and it is what it is. I genuinely wish that black people could enter spaces and enjoy their interest without being reminded that the rest of the world that other groups have this weird one-sided beef towards us. And it's unwarranted. We ain't do [ __ ] We ain't do nothing. It makes no sense. I respect and love learning about Chinese history and Chinese culture. So, it's devastating to see stuff like this. It's [ __ ] up. I'm not going to sugarcoat it. It really is [ __ ] up and it's disheartening. And this isn't just related to this instance or this situation. It can be seen in so many other situations, in so many other communities. Why do y'all make it so hard for us to just have fun and live and enjoy things?
I said in a video not too long ago that I think people only respect power. That right there is why in my humble opinion right now I've noticed from my observation that them other PC fear and respect white people. They see them as, you know, many gods or something and want to be in community with them and love them regardless of all of the evil vow things that white the white community have done to them because the white people, the white community, white nations, they have power, right? Global power and that is what people respect. I think we as black people, African people have gotten to the point, it's about time we start talking about how we are going to get that level of power as well. Killing people with kindness, wanting to have conversations with these people and explain to them why what they are doing is wrong. I don't think is the way to go, guys. I don't think it's the way to go. It would never work. I had to make peace with the fact that we literally live in a dog eat dog world and those who are at the top of the food chain are always going to pick on those that they think or perceive or are at the bottom of the food chain. So if we know what's good for us and our future generations, the sooner we get up that ladder, the better for us all. I think that's the only way that this stuff that we are dealing with with right now is going to stop. And to be perfectly clear, I'm not saying that we should be violent people. We should go out and do what them white people did in the past or are still doing as a matter of fact to this day. What I'm saying is we need to have global power and that is going to come from us building our countries, building up our continent, making our money, our naira, our cities, our shillings, our rans whatever currencies that we use stronger. I think that if we can change our economic situation, our social situation is going to change respectively. But do let me know what your thoughts and opinions are about this final thoughts of mine and overall what do you think about this video and this Natasha doll situation. Let's continue this conversation down below in the comment section. And thank you very much for watching.
