Wonder if the rest of the gated community residents would get together and file a class action suit against the Lesbian couple for their being categorized as racist ??
I note another nearly all white gated community has successfully assimilated Louis Farrakhan, so there is precedent . . .

Quote:A white Ohio woman is suing a Downers Grove-based sperm bank, alleging that the company mistakenly gave her vials from an African-American donor, a fact that she said has made it difficult for her and her same-sex partner to raise their now 2-year-old daughter in an all-white community.
there are some snippets of the actual lawsuit if you read the article linked.
seems like the happy ending they wanted was to live in a "white" community with their "white" baby. If you're paying to get a custom-designed baby, you'd better get your custom-designed baby. I don't think it's wrong at all for two white people to want a white baby.

I'm assuming the couple were looking at eye color, height, and hair color, IQ, athleticism, maybe immigration history, etc. to get a kid that plausibly resembled themselves.
That's why the ones I'm acquainted with utilize one partners or the others brother for a semen donation. Maybe medical issues precluded that option ??

That's certainly possible, but I stated the point several times in different words.
Maybe you didn't read all of them.

"She fears that her "all white and unconsciously insensitive family," which has never been able to fully embrace Jennifer's homosexuality, could have a negative effect on her daughter, according to the lawsuit."
I have no doubt at all that a girl who is both a biracial child to two white people and a child to two women (when she can see two sets of straight grandparents) is going to have quite a few questions about the way the world works. If a family is already uncomfortable with the marriage situation, how can we expect them to react to a biracial child?
However, I don't understand why these people are suing. Suing implies damages and money, this is not a situation that can exactly have a price-tag painted on it.

If they stuck together: they wouldn't be minorities. All I know is that I'm glad I'm not sticky.

If I order a computer, I don't want an elephant to show up in its stead. Not even a refund can repair the elephant feces I've had to clean off of my desk.
Nor can it replace the wall that tore down after I screwed the elephant's stuffed ass into it. It also cannot repair the neighbor's civil suit against me... something about peeping or other... well, it's not *MY* fault he was jacking off in his living room when the wall came down.
But regardless, I'm gonna need a little more than my money back for this inconvenience. 14 million dollars more. This is, after all... your fault, Dell.

Hardly. Irrelevant, perhaps... but ignorant? Far from.

Oh? Then you surely see why other people might be disinclined to give a rat's left eyepatch when you tell them that you've already had this discussion before?
I mean, it can't be too complicated to squeeze your basic position on the matter into 10 seconds of typed English? Not if you want anyone to remark according to positions they're either unaware of or have forgotten or never cared to remember in the first place?
Life gets busy. If you can remember every mildly heated conversation you've ever had with random forum plebeians, then you should look into a job at the CIA. They could use someone with your talents
