I think the OP is on to something.
It is almost impossible for people not to have internalised race hierarchies given how our socialization is.
The racism by the couple i think is not the exception, but the norm.
Most tuners are no different from the couple. As shown on this forum, through posts, Tuners like the rest of the population have deep race and colour biases (among others).
This is shown with who are seen are beautiful, and the race jokes that while done in a joking, no harm meant manner show what are the race attitudes people have.
It is naive and dishonest for tuners to tell the OP that it is none of her business. Apart from the fact that people routinely post things that are not their business, it is in the national interest that such deep biases exist even within many people are well intentioned or think that they are above such. When persons with such biases are teachers, policemen, politicians, religious leaders, businesspeople and persons with social responsibilities and influences then their biases impact upon how they view and deal with people aroound them.
The poor race/colour attitudes have been internalized by all people but it is more dangerous the higher up the social ladder you go, for reasons i just mentioned. As well, as it affects different peoples in different ways. For example, Hindu Indians or Trinidad Indians in general are doubly affected by race and colour biases as they not only are influenced by the race/colour hierarchy of the colonisers but also have been affected by the racism of mainstream Hinduism, and the aversion to darker hues present there.
This nation has never properly addressed its history, including issues of race and racism, so it is not as if i expect better on this forum.

how?
It does not HAVE to be racism: lets just say they knew the family, and based on this decided to adopt the child.
But PLEASE!! Dont play like allyuh dont know what racial look people prefer. The white, blue eyed child will be more desirable by the couple, especially if they have brahmin attitudes.
Most people make more fuss over light skinned children than darker children. Individuals even choose mates to give them children with white and light skin and certain hair textures. So it is very reasonable to conclude that a couple leaving thousands of non white children, and adopting one of the VERY FEW white children up for adoption is very influenced by them having a race preference.
Give tuners the same choice, and i think their choices will be similar. You can see it in their standard of beauty, their wives/girlfriends, their sexual fantasies and their preferred whores.

Beat up all you want it is real....I have many Indian friends for years......and it was common to hear them say "Lemme come out the sun before I get more black"...subconsciously skintone is an issue in the East Indian community even if not for all...don't be immature and pretend it doesn't exist.
I've heard indians talk about other indians and say things like "She come out nice and fair..the other sister black,black". I don't talk about indians in a bubble...I talk about my personal interactions. Not all indians have this disposition..but it is very,very common. Maybe the entire internet has it wrong too.
