Quick question that I'm sure won't get much response....

We don't have any friends who are African American and the concern for cultural connection is probably valid. There are minority families in our area with whom we are friends. We don't exclude persons of other races from our lives, there just aren't many in our geographic area.
So my question is: Should we even consider a child who is African American or take this as good advice and not think about a child of another race at all?
