Yet there is still one platform that they have not change, that is when they adapted into YouTube, the video blog or vlog concept of Barbie. These two mediums both are created by one giant company that should value the same ideology. This study is conducted using comparative study to analyze both medium and applied diversity theory by Parekh to find out the diversity concept valued by Mattel. The findings show how Mattel still uphold some white supremacies ideology in its lack of diversity in the video blog production.Keywords: Diversity, White supremacy, Adaptation
