"White" couple sues over Black Baby

A New York couple is suing a fertility clinic because of a sperm mix-up. Their youngest daughter is not the offspring of the husband. She is noticeably darker than the rest of the family. I’ve read of several problems with fertility clinics recently from sperm samples being lost to some discarded in error. The desire for a child is a serious matter. I don’t trivialize it but take a look at another issue regarding this latest family. The couple claims to be white although the mother is from the Dominican Republic. It seems as though this might be a major problem for this entire family. Although they proclaim their love for the child, there is an obvious denial that the mother is Black. I know a lot of Dominicans. I don’t know one that I would consider white. Black is a color not an origin. Get over it. Denying your Blackness doesn’t change who you really are. How mentally healthy is that home environment for this young child? Just looking at the photo of the family, it’s clear that the mother is not white. She says she is but she is not.The child needs to be taught to be proud of her Blackness and so does the mother. That’s the way I see it.
