Found on the Something*Positive feed, but as it quickly boiled down to the evils of adoption, posting it here instead of in

fandom_wank.

Adoption only counts if you're adopting a black child with developmental problems!

Wahwahwah, adoption, whatever, WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE DISADVANTAGED STRAIGHT WHITE MALES? Seriously, guys! There's no scholarships for US! D:

Yeah, well, I don't care, I'm throwing shit just to throw shit. THE INTERNET DOESN'T MATTER TO ME!

Stats are cited, people shake their heads at the batshit, but alas—

tomecatti and

henwy insist on making asses of themselves. Kids these days.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go adopt a ~~cute Asian baby~~ disadvantaged black teenager so I can make ~~myself look really good on my applications for financial aid~~ the world a happier place.

Many, many years ago, when casual racism was more acceptable, my uncles Jimmy & Michael had a bit of a running joke. Uncle Jimmy (who lived in America) would always tell Uncle Michael (who lived in Ireland), that the only way to get ahead in America was to take advantage of the welfare system by adopting lots of black babies.

Gradually, Auntie Marie & Uncle Jimmy realise they can't have children. They get desperate. They go to Brazil & adopt a baby. It's much cheaper to adopt a black baby, so they do.

They forgot all about their little joke until quite recently when Uncle Michael, forgetting totally about my cousin, said 'Jimmy, do people still have to adopt black babies to get on in America?'

Cue looks of bewilderment & horror from everyone in the room, except for my mum, who ran out the door giggling like a mad thing.
