Surely not...never mind, you are right. We are talking about liberals, after all.

The opposite is true as well here in the States:

I was not referring to Roberts being racial. I'm just referring to private agencies in Latin America (not all but some). A lot of people are not aware of the color complex they have in Latin America. Roberts may have went in with a pure heart (I'm sure he did) but many private international agencies are catering to foreign needs and wants, and not just for white babies either. Most are for profit charging thousands to desperate couples. I imagine that couples looking for white babies get scammed more than everyone else. Sorry for the confusion but I was definately not trying to paint Roberts as a racist.

They are not classic; they are old-fashioned. These clothes are Old World, old money and a cut above the light-up/shoe-buying hoi polloi....***Oh come on!!! They are little kids dressed like little kids for crying out loud!! What should they have worn?? A leather halter top and leather chaps?
I thought they looked absolutely adorable.

Your point that "white babies wouldn't be in the same orphanages as others" implied a racial bias on the part of the Roberts that I think was unjustified. I had already made the point that all Latin American's aren't "hispanic looking". Guess I was confused by what you mean by "I am commenting on the very real phenomena of color in Latin American countries." I don't think that she was accusing Roberts of racial bias, but merely pointing the facts that healthy white babies are in high demand among adoptive couples. The waiting list for white infants in the U.S. is very long. Latin Americans are ten times more obsessed with light skin and European features, babies like the Roberts children would be in extremely high demand among well-to-do Latin American couples.

Yup, I can't stomach DU either. They have a vocabulary of about 50 words, the minority of which aren't profanity.

Hey, I've seen Sabato Gigante. There are blondes from Latin America.And most of those babes's hair color is as authentic as their breasts. Not that I am complaining :D

Yes, there are a lot of kids' outfits that have kind of a retro look to them; I remember one my son had that had kind of an old-world German look to it. The libs are taking nitpicking to new heights, or lows, depending on how you look at it.
To: retrokitten
He showed me his kindergarten class picture and I couldn't even pick him out! LOL! Yep .. That's how I found out about my one friend being a blonde when he was little .. it was white blonde like Jack's
It totally blew us away because his hair is jet black now

So did I.
It was nice to see people dressed for the occassion.
It showed respect.
To: retrokitten
He has the cutest kids. Roberts had to know this was coming. This is the risk you take in this day and age.

Latin Americans are ten times more obsessed with light skin and European features, babies like the Roberts children would be in extremely high demand among well-to-do Latin American couples. Which is the angle the Times is going to be looking at. You and I know that. How'd a Yank pull of an adoption while plenty of light skinned wealthy Latin American couples are probably still on a waiting list. The answer is either a) John Roberts is a lot wealthier or b) The kids are from third country.
