Reply to comment by [deleted] in Colin Kaepernick says adoptive white parents perpetuated 'racism' at times while raising him by DrChefAstronaut

Respectfully, this is a conversation that is way above your pay grade. You are very obviously uneducated about adoption since 1) you feel bold enough to infantilize me and other adoptees despite the fact that we are grown adults 2) you assume that all adoptees were abandoned by their biological parents. Since you have no interest in listening to adoptees or learning about the history of adoption, you should really sit this one out.

Adoption informed people do not use language like "ungrateful" to describe adoptees, and they are aware of the myriad of ways that children end up in foster care/adoption. You are blithely unaware that many "abandoned" children had parents who were coerced into putting them in care, or had parents who were "undesirable" in some way. You don't care about our issues regarding loss and identity, even if the adoption happened under the best of circumstances. Again, it is best for you to sit this one out until/unless you become informed about adoption, because you are not as informed as you think you are.
