The people who won't listen to the voice of actual experience, who believe that if they love their little Rescued Heathen Babies, well, that should be enough, well what can you say to a person so terribly deluded? You, my dear, will never penetrate the pink haze in front of their faces. You won't, and no actual Asian females will, either. These people, well, they SAVED those Heathen Babies, and you know damned well that they think that is All Anyone Needs. I really really hope their kids can get them to see straight, that they can make them believe that bringing them to America doesn't make them white. They will sadly always see China Doll as just a cute as pie term of endearment, because it is all about them, and not really about the kids. Sad but true. They want to call her China Doll, so they will, no matter that it might be demeaning and racist. It is ugly, but you are fighting themost sisyphean battle of them all, arguing against the ignorance of people on APC. Why you torture yourself with APC is beyond me, OM.

I've been avoiding APC....can't take it there. I catch up by reading TGL! Maybe I'll pop in and suggest they read "Yell-Oh Girls" edited by Vickie Nam. No excuses after this book! Great post!

I've never joined the famed (idiotic it seems) APC group...and now have no reason to do so. In 10 years, when their child comes home from school in tears because of some nasty taunts (you may never have ever heard - but I have), I hope they remember their condescending words now.

Why do they think that they can raise a child of a different race, when they are so insensitive so as not to listen. Bozos. At best. *sorry for the typos. I must remember that preview is my friend.
