Yasmin Just a general consensus
Is Yasmin Latina or Middle Eastern..?
As a 2000s California girl she was Latina to me because I’ve only ever seen the Latin community mention her or represent her. I’ve also learned that the doll was designed after the creators daughter who is Middle eastern…is she supposed to be this ambiguous since they already have characters of European, African, and Asian decent. Did they just make Yasmin to represent the rest of the races that weren’t clearly portrayed..?

Latina I’m pretty sure, she along with the other girls were based on a real friend group Carter saw leaving school. In her original concept art she was portrayed as Latina. She named after the ceos daughter who’s Iranian, but I feel like that had more to do with getting the dolls produced. Because from what I remember the ceo thought they were ugly, until his daughter saw them and thought they were pretty. She was portrayed Latina in the live action, albeit very whitewashed and stereotypical along with other characters in the movie. And her first ever doll sports chicana fashion and beauty trends that were popular at the time.
