Fifth Harmony Talk About Their Diversity: ‘We have all different ethnicities’

During their new interview with Wonderland magazine, the Fifth Harmony girls opened up about being turned into Barbie dolls and confessed that it was a proud moment because it's so important to have representation for all races and ethnicities. 

Lauren Jauregui said: "That was a surreal experience for us. Having a Barbie that looks like me is crazy. It’s sitting in my house. We’re very diverse, for sure."

Camila Cabello added: "It’s just really special because I feel like representation is so important, especially for little girls growing up that have dreams, and because of prejudices or because of Eurocentric standards they might not think that they’re good enough or quote-unquote pretty enough — whatever. We have all different ethnicities, we have all different body types, so I think that makes us really special."

Dinah Jane also opened up about being made into a Barbie doll and admitted that knowing little girls will be exposed to diversity makes her incredibly proud:

"What was also crazy is that the five of us, since we’re different races — we have an African-American, I’m a South Pacific Islander, we have Mexican and Cuban — we’re able to be representative for those that don’t really have anyone else to look up to. So I’m really happy, it was such a moment for me to be an actual Barbie doll for another little girl."
