A popular dairy in Dunedin's student quarter has pulled golliwogs from sale. A photo supplied to Stuff showed the knitted dolls were wrapped in plastic and for sale as recently as Monday. But as the Black Lives Matter protests gain traction around the world, the owners have come under increasing pressure to pull the controversial dolls from sale. The sale of the dolls were highlighted in an online story by student magazine Critic, with some threatening to boycott the popular store. Race relations professor at Massey University, Paul Spoonley, said he found it "surprising and very disappointing" that Kiwis still did not understand how offensive golliwogs were.
