There is a case for Barbie dolls embracing a wider field, more certainly for ethnicity. And they've (Mattel) released a so-called gender neutral doll. Sort of makes sense because the kit allows the child to fit the doll out according to the child's wishes.
But changing the language, referring to a person in the singular as "they" is worthy of outrage.
