McDonald's has asked its Te Awamutu restaurant not to hold raffles for golliwog dolls, after one customer called them "racist."

Will Moreland spotted the doll being displayed on the counter of the franchise on Saturday — it was wearing a Waikato rugby jersey.

"I was a bit shocked, because I've always thought of it as a racist image that depicts black people in an unfavourable way," the 21-year-old said.
