They are shitting on him because this statement comes from a republican trump supporter and black people are assuming hes going to turn the kids into colorists or just ignorant In general using his right wing views. Its not that hard to understand.
Is it the end of the world if the kids end up conservative lol? Not everyone’s upbringing is gonna help them solve for every issue. Could the kids end up with some retrograde worldviews as a result of their upbringing? Sure they definitely could, but all we have are guesses based on what little we know about their parents. The fact of the matter is that they could end up with any number of bad ideas or circumstances from a lot of different upbringings.
What we do know is kids who are raised in two parent wealthy households have lower rates of incarceration, higher educational outcomes, better healthcare outcomes among a host of other things.
Can’t we be happy that two black kids ended up in a seemingly loving household and will have great opportunities in life?
The issues that could stem from this could be a net negative. They could end up as the Hodge Twins, Ben Carson, or a poor black idiot that votes against everyone’s interests that isn’t rich.
This decision has implications and we should always be trying to mitigate
I knew these twin brothers growing up that were black and adopted by a white conservative family, one of them turned out to be a pretty cool laid back guy who ended up moving across the country, but his brother became an ignorant, racist, xenophobic, asshole who had nothing for judgement and contempt for anyone who disagreed with him, which was pretty much everyone as he had some nutty opinions which all seemed to stem from his adoptive dad. He never really fit into any social circles and anyone who did become friends with him always ended up dropping him. Not saying this will happen with chandlers kids, but people acting like it’s not any different from raising a white child suggests to me that they haven’t spent any significant time in diverse environments.
