It's chuffing obvious that one of them DOES sell more than the other, which is why one of them is cheaper than the other,. It's been the same with all of the various multicolour Apple products for years - if you were willing to accept one of the less popular colours, you could get away with paying a little less if you knew how to haggle. Same with cars - if you go into a car dealership and you know that blue cars of a particular model are the least popular, you can generally get a bit off the price if you're willing to go with a blue one.
In the case of dolls I suspect it's more likely that, subliminally, parents prefer dolls that look like the child they've just had. As the majority of the UK population is caucasian, that means caucasian dolls are the most popular. Therefore automated stock control systems will cause the other ones to be priced cheaper. It's not racism, it's capitalism.
The people who think this is at all related to racism are blithering idiots.
