    Biracials tend to have this issue in any monoracial community. Her parents should have considered this and placed her in a diverse environment. Mixed people really need that so they don't end up feeling so othered.

    • @cococock2418

      No, her parents should have not race mixed. The majority of the planet is monoracial. Her parents finding her a mulatto friend isn't magically making her feel better. They want to fit in with their families and friends, not other mulattos. Key word - the girl literally said "I just wanna be like my family".

    I found myself tearing up so much at this. I am not a transracial adoptee, but I am an adoptee. And that lack of genetic mirroring is so hard to deal with. It’s something non-adoptees really have no frame of reference to understand. So I remember the self hatred and the gaslighting in my teens. It hits hard.

    Bless her soul, navigating such a situation must be horrible and then have it brushed under the carpet like it's no big deal.. Look at what drove that girl to take those meds, I know it's acting but it happens in real life all the time and is not acceptable and grown arse adults should know better! 😤

    Not knowing or even being willing to acknowledge that sickle cell anemia is something that she could be prone to is so profound. This is why understanding that we are all human regardless of race, but that we also have racial differences that make us unique and having others for young people to learn from is so important.

    Ending was the best blame free coming to terms with the issue I've seen on tv. Don't start a sermon on it but open the door to talk about so when the kid does encounter it she's comfortable discussing it instead of internalizing it. Also they lady who stopped the girl rejoining her team needs to be named and shamed. No general shaming of all white people, individuals need to be called out and dealt with on a case by case basis.

    I was taught right and wrong by my parents, that race and color doesn't matter, it's a person's character that does. They've taught me things that are uncomfortable subjects for them too. It's the parents who teach the child and answer their questions, no matter what.

    Biracials have a similar issue in the black community. Her parents should have been more cognizant of potential stuggles and placed her in a diverse environment. That's really important for mixed people.

      It definitely depends on looks. I look like an Asian with slightly wavy hair, but my sister is more tan with curly hair. When in NY people assumed my sis was latina, but accepted when she said she was black. When I tell people I'm black they laugh and talk to me in fake Chinese.

      It’s easy to say now, especially among the younger generation as our society is more ethnically and socially diverse. But some older folks still have problems with accepting the duality of biracial and mixed race people. Programs like this help because they get people to talking to each other.

    It can be rough to see outrage against social injustices and regress to inaction lest you be the target of such outrage for a simple mistake. But the thing is, we're all human, and we all make mistakes, and the important thing isn't never making mistakes. It's the effort put into doing the right thing and into avoiding repeating mistakes. That's all it's about really, the effort.

    It is such fucking bullshit when adoptive parents tells adoptees that they picked them. No they fucking didnt. First off the adoption agency just calls them up and say I have a baby of blank gender and blank race and you either say yes or no. Same if you adopt out of foster care. Adoptive parents never choose their adoptive children unless they go over seas and hand pick a kid out of an orphanage. The reason adoptive parents adopt 90% of the time is because they wanted a kid and couldnt get pregnant. Adoption is child trafficking meant to fulfill adult wants not a childs needs.

    • @ew6483
      @ew6483 หลายเดือนก่อน +20

      And all the visits between prospective parents and prospective adoptees? Are they not a way to get to know each other and "choose" each other as a family? The care system is full of flaws but it's ignorant to call adoption child trafficking, especially when it means taking a child out of that flawed system.

    • @pendragonsxskywalkers9518

      trafficking? so people who can't handle having a baby and give them up for adoption TO GIVE THEM A CHANCE AT A BETTER LIFE are human traffickers? also the fact that they have an option to say yes or no means they did in fact choose her.

      “Warm up to things” sounds like the cheer coach who feels uncomfortable and like the adoptive parents feel because things should be brushed under the table and not corrected to avoid their uncomfortableness . The young lady needs representatives for who she is just like her other children. She is different with a different background and ancestors who didn’t go through what they went through by the hands of white people just to be outcasted and treated unkind STILL
