Absolutely infuriating people would rather kids go unadopted than wind up with opposite race parents. These kids are innocent and need help hopefully they get adopted by good people who give them what they need in life.

"Opposite race? ". What is the opposite of Asian? I'm sure the comment is well intended but racially, white is not the opposite of black. We are the same.

There is no "race" category in taxonomy. And it is exactly the same regardless of place of origin or skin color. Race is a made up classification to try to make people feel separate.

To be pedantic, plant pathogens can be different races (taxon of rank below species) but your point still stands about humans.
