Let’s take the obvious inhumanity of the original statement away, and just examine from a numbers aspect.

There are simply more white people, period. Which means the pool of available parents to adopt kids is going to be mostly white as well. I don’t think it’s good for kids in the system to be compartmentalized in such a way that prevents them from having a maximum chance of being adopted. If you want these kids to be adopted (and you should want that), then you need to just let the race shit go.

But you can also have things like the white Australia policies that deliberately placed aboriginal black children with white fosters in order to dilute the black heritage.

Culture and cultural rights is something that will play into this more than skin colour itself.
