But if we are talking about the impact that growing up in a transracial family has on the child then I guess I would argue that my sister should have the same responsibility towards her daughter as I have to mine, adopted or by birth. Adoption and birth are separate things, I just wish I had an argument for my sister that she would listen to as to why it is going to be important to know more about race and culture for her daughter.

I agree. The issue is enculturation, not adoption vs. birth. I would think that your sister would probably need more exposure to the issue by virtue of the fact that she did not adopt.
