This is fucked up

EDIT: Yes, thank you, I get that this was likely made just to get a rise out of people, but the belief that adopted kids don't make a real family is a real mentality, and the contempt for white families that adopt black kids is an even more real mentality. I'm a white guy and I have a white family, and I have three black cousins that were adopted. Two on my dad's side and one on my mom's. I know what kind of shit those families can get because of their decision.

Yes, it's likely that whoever made this was just trying to offend people, but the idea portrayed in it is real and affects a lot of families that choose to adopt. Especially families that adopt children of other races.

So a robot family counts right?

I’d flip the script on this one. With all the potential issues involved with adopting, it takes a very secure person to do it, and live up to the expectations.
