Why do racist White Americans adopt nonwhite kids as much as they do? I see this a lot from Guatemalan adoptees. They’re always very visibly mestizo or indigenous kids with Anglo names like Jason Smith who were raised by a racist straight or lesbian couple.
They come down here and talk about how thankful they were to be away from this hellhole (their own words) and will brag about their white spouses who tend to be just as racist as their parents. Their politics range from being far-right to neoliberal with the only leftists I’ve met being those with an estranged relationship with their parents.
the same reason enslavers wanted non-white bodies. as livestock or as pets.
they would probably treat their own bio children as pets too but squeezing out tiny humans doesn’t stroke their ego like the social adulation of adopting or fostering.

i know the racist libs do it to show how progressive they are to other white libs
guessing the same reason they fetishise poc, some do because they think it makes them progressive, some do it for humiliation.
