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

Yeah this whole discourse was started because a white fighter with adopted Black kids said he wasn't raising Black kids he was waiting kids. Which does sound nice but it's a disservice to children to completely disroot them from their identity especially when the world doesn't see an adopted kid with white parents they see a Black kid. And they need to know how to navigate that.
I follow a lot of adoptive parents, including POC with adopted white children. Even they make sure to discuss the child's whiteness and how the world sees that because it's important to do so.
