We decided against AA/biracial adoption the first time around because of our families. They are nowhere near as flagrant about things as you're describing but there's enough ignorance, and Supamodel is right it's absolute ignorance, for us not to want to expose a child to that.
So yes, IMHO I think it would be doing the child a major disservice. This is supposed to be their family. The people they can depend on to love them unconditionally. If you don't think that can or will happen, I guess I'd think long and hard about AA/biracial adoption of any kind.
But again, that's just my .02.
And BTW, now that DD is actually here, even though she's CC, I know that my family at least wouldn't care if she was purple, so for adoption #2 we'll likely be open to any race.
