Would anyone in their right mind consider this racist?

To me it is an iconic character which makes me think of marmalade!

We had Golliwog's when we were younger.

My old man encouraged us to call them monkey face nigger teddies.

I found a shop in Cambridge a few years back selling them!

My sister and dad used to collect the badges and tokens from the jars!

People need to stop moaning about a toy/jam mascot that has been around longer than most of them have even been born!

Indeed.
There was a fair bit of fuss in the late seventies about them being racist, in fact I believe the derogatory term 'wog' was derived from them.
