Proof? Look at all the foreign adoptions.Tons of them. Look at the interracial adoptions. They're virtually non exisitant. Now, for everyone to say on this board that it wouldn't matter to them and they would adopt a black child all the same is disingenous (sp? sorry).
Now given that, are the people who adopt foreign children racist? Of course not.

proof? No, not in the least. You're assuming that the TFP is like the rest of the world. First, this is not an american only community. We're international and cosmopolitan in a way that i think is a positive thing. Secondly, we've chosen a home at a community that prides itself on idependant thought, mutual respect, and creativity. We're not an average sample.
go to the current threat on interracial dating (
http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=84082). someone made a similar statement, saying that the TFP community is bluffing...that if we were being honest, we would express a racial preference in line with the broader community. immediately, counter example after counter example stood up.
so why is it that you assume we're not honest when we say it doesn't matter to us?
