PC at what cost?

Unsurprisingly, the racist requirement that adoptees need be placed with same-race adoptive parents is causing problems placing children into adoptive households in the United Kingdom. Operating under the insane assumption that a child is better off in an orphanage than being placed at a very young age in a loving household with parents of a different race has caused the United Kingdom's foster care system to become over-burdened with minority children, particularly those from southern Asia, the Middle East, and from Africa. In a country with such stark racial disparities in income, it should come as no surprise that there is a prevalence of ethnically minority children in foster care and a disproportionately low number of adoptive parents available.

Of course, the darling BBC might point out the problem and call on more minority parents, already disproportionately poor and likely less capable of adding another member to their house, to apparently do their part in adoptions but don't expect them to suggest that perhaps this racist policy isn't in the best interests of the kids. No, that level of journalistic integrity - questioning the basic assumptions behind the program - are apparently beyond the BBC, who go to great lengths to quote an adopted child, a member of the government, and two members of adoption-oriented charities but all four agree: as bad as living in a foster care system may be, it obviously would be worse to live with loving parents who "look different."

Plea for ethnic minority adopters
BBC News

Three black or Asian children are vying for adoption into every home that has adopters of a similar background, a charity says.

Jean Smith, from the NCH children's charity, told BBC Asian Network more ethnic minority adopters were needed.

She said placing children from ethnic minorities with white parents often left them without a sense of cultural and religious identity later in life.

There are about 80,000 children in care in the UK. About 10,000 of these are
black, Asian or of mixed heritage.

In the 1970s, many ethnic minority children were adopted into white families, but today the care system tries to make cultural and racial matches.

However, because of the shortage of prospective parents from non-white communities, black and Asian children can wait a long time to be placed.

The Asian Network examined the issue in a special report called "Why Are We Waiting?", part of the BBC's Family Wanted series.
