What a ridiculous argument. Children are color blind anyway, unless we adults instill that bias in them.

First, race, as I understand it, is determined by the amount of melatonin (sp?) in our skin. Melatonin is a product of environment. So where's the argument?

Is it okay for a Norwegian with very little melatonin to adopt an Italian child with olive skin (or the reverse for that matter).

Is it okay for an Indian (who are classified as Caucasian) to adopt a Malaysian child (who are classified as Asian).

Please. If there are any troglodites out there who see this as something that even needs to be discussed, they need to return to their caves and hibernate. They're on the endangered species list anway (a good thing in this case).
