In our country, AA boys are at the bottom of the ladder, esp. when they get older (the numbers tell us that). Folks, all babies are cute, when the cute factor wears off you are dealing with how our culture deal with AA esp. boys. At least when Asian girls come here thay are seen as smart (which is a generalization in itself) same. Our AA children are not viewed that way (generally)
While I am a Christian, I have to be realistic, and racism is racism; it affects us all. I do think that with AA children in need here, personally I would help "my own" prior to looking else where. The simple connotation of how AA children are viewed via lower adoption fees etc; biracial seen as "better" tell me the truth, all AAs are mixed with something.
Canada does not have the same history with racism that th USA has, The blacks that live there are from the west indies and other countries. However, there are problems popping up now that the Canadian black population is raising.
On a side note, AA as descendants of Africa do possess the same strength, and rich culture (look in the south, certain words, music, the foods) kind of hard to seperate the two . I teach my AA sons about Africa as that is their ancestor's birthplace. This is the same as Irish/Italian etc;
