Idiots.
*sigh, I know I shouldn't, but...*

But see, if they hadn't said ANYTHING, then all would have been right with the world. They made a mistake, and I see nothing wrong with them backing off because the child isn't white. There are plenty of child advocate groups that can surely come forward (and would have made more sense for them to respond to the comments anyway, IMO). Oh well.
