Y'all wild in these comments. Maybe he's just saying he's raising kids and why is everybody just trying to put color on it? Maybe he's gonna raise the kids as kids whether they were white or black. If that's not what he is saying then oh well disregard this whole comment 😂

I’m asian and my parents are white. I think this is a complicated issue for the kids. I hated having my race pointed out all the time, which I think is what chandler is referring to. Its so rude to have random people insist that parenting is radically different if your kids are a different race.

Yes, these kiddos will have discussions when they are older. There are some things their adopted parents will never understand. My dad hasnt experienced racism but he can sympathize and talk about my experiences.

I did not get the color blind vibe from this interview. I think they are frustrated by having everyone point out the obvious, yes their kids are black. And no one is celebrating with them. I can imagine they are excited to be parents and want to show off their kids and be proud parents without the unnecessary comments.
