Yeah , there are some serious issues in the world of adopted , multiethnic families . I ' m likely not the best person to really talk about some of these issues since I mostly have learned about cases of evangelical families adopting kids from other countries Many of them trafficked or sold by their families because of the demand white Westerners have to about poor orphans from developing nations . Their original families frequently using the money to help other children and their real family assume that they ' ll have a better life in the US . many kids have been abused . There have been kids killed . the story of Hana Grace Rose Williams freaking kills me . Anyway , all that is a separate can of worms from your situation but it remains a fact that some people can adopt children from different racial , ethnic , and cultural backgrounds for openly malicious reasons , because they genuinely care , and sometimes they are well meaning but assume that because they care and are trying to help that it ' s impossible to be racist or act or think in a prejudiced manner . I ' m really hoping that your parents genuinely care and this is some sort of accidental bias making them be cruel unintentionally and that eventually you can work this out . I would look for nonprofits that support foster kidsadoptees in your area and see if you can find a social worker or counselor to talk to and who may help you try to discuss this issue with your parents . It may not be worth it but I ' m hoping it ' s worth trying and I think you need a specialist by your side because why don ' t you think I ' ll be successful ? Is it because I ' m black ? isn ' t likely to be successful .
