The most impressive thing about Barbie is how they've managed to avoid any backlash about it being a problematic toy that set a harmful and impossible beauty standard for girls starting around age 5.
When you think of Barbie, the image that comes to mind is white, blonde, blue eyes, thin, impossibly narrow waste, big tits, literally 1939's wet dream.
Populating the movie with actors of color in the background maybe did the trick.
I'd say this in the movie's thread but those members living vicariously through Margot Robbie as a pink-clad doll are very quick to report.
