I commend her for her UN work and adopting underprivileged children. But isn't it a tad bit... overboard for her to actually consider "adopting another asian child for mad" or "an african kid for z". I mean, go ahead and adopt another kid, I'm all for adoption, but for those reasons... euch. I thought she was all about being multiracial, but trying to "balance out the races" is kinda segregating them.
Ok, so I do KINDA understand where she's coming from. The problem is, does she herself understand what she is doing? She says that she will raise her children according to each of their cultures, and if she is indeed doing that, then "balancing out the races" is indeed the wrong idea. Being Asian doesn't make people the same.
Has she forgotten that however it may be now, racial tension has existed in the past, and that could very well be what and un-homegrown child chooses to identify with? God forbid she adopt Chinese kid AND Japanese kid (though that probably won't happen anyway).

That's exactly it. Her kids aren't supposed to care about politics. But apparently their mom does.
