Of course Michael Jackson bought 3 White children so perhaps it all evened out?

I'm tired of all the PC remarks, too. This however, was just dumb. Low class. Begging to be seen on a slow news day. Whatever.

I am amazed by the oversensitivity of people about racism. What is the color of the puppy? Dark? As far as the "Black Baby Adoption" craze in the artistic world goes, I guess we have other persons to blame about this instead of the editors of that webpage. Let's be honnest here, Madona has done more damage to the orphanage where David camre from that any other person. Why can't we laugh about all this? I love it, I just love it!

Exactly. I think there's a flipside to what Celebitchy is referring to, which is the case in which skin color is a perfectly obvious trait in order to clarify which person you mean, yet someone is so PC that they avoid it. Imagine someone trying to point our their friend in a particular photo, who happens to be the only black person in the photo (of 5+ people). "The one kinda in the middle, no, in the red shirt, nono ... with the beard." Come on already, its not insulting to indicate that he is black (or whatever term suits you). Perhaps I'm just tired of everyone being PC, but there's no end to it here in CA. :-) “Only in our ultra PC world is using the color of someones skin a racist thing when describing them.”

I think they're just trying to be funny, not racist.

Probably some writer thought it was a lot more hysterical in his/her own head. Sometimes those jokes should stay in someone's head and never see the light of day. Sort of unrelated, in college I read a book of articles written by foreign academics. The articles all were centered around their first impressions of American society and culture. One in particular was written by a Japanese man who said he found it odd that Americans so often used physical features to describe each other in conversation ("You know Jennifer with the red hair" or "George, the guy with the big blue eyes."). He pointed out that the Japanese tend to be more homogenized in terms of physical features and so their reference points were totally different, such as someone's family or their hometown. Interesting, really, how our culture evolves. Seems like an attempt at humor that fell totally flat. Probably some writer thought it was a lot more hysterical in his/her own head.

If the situation were somehow reversed and they said "Adopts A White," no one would say anything. It's just the color of skin, relax people. I doubt they're trying to be disrespectful. And it's borderline retarded to think they're actually calling a black child the equivalent of a small dog - it's a JOKE. People are so ridiculous.

I have some inlaws (fortunately, not immediate family) who LOVE to mention the color of people's skin (only if they aren't white of course, cause those are a given *rolls eyes*). It makes no difference in the story they are telling, but somehow I need to know it?!? WHY?! Ignorant racist idiots.. Celebitchy, oh that ticks me off too.
