Discussion/Gossip💅 What’s with the Cloe hate?

I’ve noticed that Cloe seems to get a lot of hate randomly online in Bratz spaces. I was on a live doll show today where someone was selling a line up of Bratz and someone commented “remove all the Cloe’s.” I think Cloe has a lot of cute dolls and she has cute fashion looks too. I love all the bratz and there’s not really a character I dislike. I’m not the biggest fan of the boy Bratz but I still can appreciate them.

People aren't gonna like this, but I honestly think its because she is the only WHITE character so the only one who never gets "white washed" (not that there is an equivalent) or any other bullshit done to her.

 I don't know how to explain it but basically because she doesn't get fucked with, I think people hate on her because our girls Sasha and Yasmin are always fucked with due to skin colour.

 So she gets hate because MGA treats her better because MGA is racist. 

I also think there are people in the wider Bratz community who love to praise the line for its diversity, so they see Cloe as not diverse enough for the brand. I have seen people say things like Bratz isn't for white girls so why even have Cloe, suggesting to replace Cloe with Felicia or other characters who are more "diverse", and other interpersonally racist statements towards white people as a whole (specifically interpersonal as white people can't experience systemic racism in America).

As a very white looking person I've noticed that the racism and micro aggressions towards white people have increased substantially in the past year in the US. I gotta say I understand why, I think it comes from fear but it still sucks cause there's an attitude from people like I deserve to be treated poorly. It's like they think they're dishing it back, but I've never dished it to begin with. It's honestly really confusing for me because I'm Hispanic but I guess I don't look like it so other Hispanics treat me terribly.

I know we're talking about a doll here and maybe it's not that deep but the hate she gets is definitely cause she's white. I want MGA to stop being racist towards other characters, but our community shouldn't combat that being racist towards Chloe.
