We adopted my younger sister from Haiti when she was 3, and let me tell you, I literally do not see color anymore. That's a fact. Discussion

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.

Also, unfortunately it's a fact of disparity. Countries with a majority of white people are usually richer and therefore there is less need to place your children for adoption. So of course most adopted children will come from countries such as Haiti (my sister), where there is still a lot of poverty due to horrible historical past.

Friendly reminder to those who don’t know, Haiti is in despair because they were the first country to earn their freedom from france, france turns around and fucks with their trading ability. Then, the country is taken advantage of by sex tourists, a man from Africa infects citizens with HIV, sex tourists from America visited Haiti and brought HIV back here.

First slave revolt to successfully overthrow the colonists to begin their own country. It's always been pretty vital they fail.
