In Newsweek they recently published a story about a little girl and her adoptive family of a different race. What made it an unusual story is that little Katie O'Dea-Smith is white and her parents are black. I was initially surprised when the article detailed the daily glimpses of subtle racism and then I realized I shouldn't've been quite so shocked. I've heard second hand about the ongoing existence of racism in North America. I suppose this instance was just extra poignant because there are so many white families with adopted black children.
