==Culture Confusion Controversy== |
|
|
May Lin sparked a bit of controversy because her name is Chinese, yet the doll was portrayed as Japanese. On top of that, her name is misspelled; a more appropriate spelling would have been something like "Meilin" or "Mei-lin." This made it appear that the design team had not properly researched appropriate names for the doll and merely picked a name that would be perceived to be Japanese by the general public, thereby perpetuating misconceptions about the Chinese and Japanese cultures being one and the same. May Lin was also will be produced again in the wave 2 of '''Ice Champions''', this portray would not violate any culture. |
