Two-year-old has best response to cashier's questions about black doll

A white toddler has schooled a cashier on racial bias by telling her she chose a black doctor doll as her potty training present because "she's a doctor; I'm a doctor. She is a pretty girl; I am a pretty girl".

Brandi Benner told CNN she took Sophia to Target to pick out a toy for finishing her potty training. The little girl — who wants to be a doctor when she grows up —spent 20 minutes looking at the dolls before she opted for a black doll with a stethoscope.

"She kept going back to the doctor doll, because in her mind, she is already a doctor," Benner told the news site.

"She loves giving checkups, and if you come in the house, she'll tell you that's the first thing you need."

Sophia held on to the doll tightly as her mother queued to pay.

The cashier then asked if the toddler would prefer a doll who looked liked her.

"Are you sure this is the doll you want, honey?", she said. 

And the little girl immediately dismissed her question.

"She does [look like me]!", Sophia said. "She's a doctor; I'm a doctor. She is a pretty girl; I am a pretty girl. See her pretty hair? See her stethoscope?".

Benner said she was angered by the question, but proud of her daughter unfazed response.

"This experience just confirmed my belief that we aren't born with the idea that color matters", she wrote on Instagram.

"Skin comes in different colors just like hair and eyes and every shade is beautiful... I just want to teach my kids love, and that's included in my own actions."
