Even accusing the country of genocide doesn't make one a 'Jew hater.'

Zzzzz.

How do you know it's a 'loving family'?

Sorry, you're right, it doesn't specify black.

I didn't make broad assumptions based on their color. I made a suggestion based on their color and the fact that they came to a fertility clinic despite not having fertility issues. It's possible that isn't the case (plenty of people brought up genetic problems).

"You assume because the couple is white, and because they didn't choose a white sperm donor, that they MUST be bad parents because no normal white couple would choose to have a mixed-race baby."

Obviously. But my point is the child is, initially, at a distinct disadvantage. Never claimed people can't get past it.

lol

We're humans, we tend to function in that manner and it's been an evolutionary advantage. What do you think empathy and kin altruism are for? They're mechanisms to make sure can think of the collective good.

I more meant that she can go to any sperm clinic. I could be wrong, but I assumed anyone who could afford treatment can probably choose where they receive it?

yes, I mean reproductive policies are health issues as much as social issues.

Speaking as a multiracial child, we obviously have different experiences. But aside from either of our experiences, default white person does not inherently understand POC issues.

Yes, I'm one of them. There are plenty of children in plenty of situations that 'do fine.'

Yeah I am on the fence with the single mother in that it's very possible her most attractive donor just happened to be non-white, but I still agree with the policy since she really can get sperm anywhere.

You've got to be a little myopic to think that comparing the child's racial identity to the child's eventual possible height is reasonable. I also don't see anything about it being a couple, I read about a couple that is white and a single white woman (although single couple mean just one).

You misunderstand my point. I mean purposefully creating the situation re: race/ethnicity. I wouldn't consider gender a great comparison because you can't raise a child (normally) without them having constant contact with people of their own gender. But a lot of white parents adopt children of color and do a very poor…

Ideally, yes. But whether or not someone is part of a culture is as much about their upbringing as it is about whether or not the other members accept them. Every black kid raised by white families has a point where they find out, generally in a not-so-nice way, that they are fundamentally different from their parents…

The difference is that the adopted child is living regardless and any home is better than no home. There isn't that issue here. It's purposely creating a situation where the two most important people in this child's life will never full be able to understand the difficulties s/he would face as a poc. I think it's a…

But black babies who need parents are already born. There is no societal gone being done when a white couple without fertility issues insists on a non-white child. I think it's highly likely they've fetishized (though not necessarily in a sexual way) the other culture for whatever reason and likely would not make…

Lots of little kids don't cry when they fall. The ones who do are usually the ones with hypervigilant parents who rush over screaming whenever little Francis trips over a pebble.
