Minor point: but foreign adoptions are, almost definitionally, interracial. This sense that there are different 'kinds' of interracial is part of the problem, I believe.
It's not a stretch to recognize that people have different ethnicities from each other. But are some more different than others? Why draw that sort of distinction?
Again: my experience is that people decide to have a US or an international adoption. Once that decision is made, others decisions follow. For those that decide to have a US adoption, some care about racial differences, and some don't. Some of the first group are racist, but most (I believe) aren't.
But the important distinction is the 'foreign or US' decision. And that's not often based on the race of the future child.
