McDonald's Te Awamutu holds 'racist' golliwog raffleSUPPLIED/WILL MORELAND A golliwog is not what customers usually associate with the golden arches. McDonald's has asked its Te Awamutu restaurant not to hold raffles for golliwog dolls, after one customer called them "racist." CHRISTEL YARDLEY/FAIRFAX NZ In 2015, Pak'n Save came under fire for selling 'Happy Gollies' at its Hamilton store. "I suppose the question is less for McDonald's as a large company - the question is more for Te Awamutu and how it views racism and cultural diversity." In 2015, Race Relations Commissioner Dame Susan Devoy applauded Pak'n Save for pulling golliwog dolls from the shelves of one of its stores.
