Wow, great video. I especially liked the family with the two daughters. I could tell the parents are really connected to their daughters. That is true love. The older man seems to talk about his adopted kids like they are guests/visitors staying with them as a missionary cause, instead of their children. THe diversity coordinator was so informative. Loved the video. Kudos.

"Black Skin, White Heart??" Wow folks, what a title..............O_o!

that's true.

As an LDS adoptive parent who lives in NY I enjoy visiting UT because there are many families that look like ours. However, after several conversations I have noted there is a sometimes a level of utopic ideal-like denial. This film does an excellent job of addressing this. My son was adopted through foster care, there were not any AA families available for him, should he have lingered in limbo perhaps forever waiting? My answer is No. And so I appreciate that this film was not anti-adoption.

Great video

I believe that this is beautiful. Why accuse ppl of mormon culture of something wrong that was taught to them many yrs ago? Leave PEOPLE alone. This was beautiful and in all this will make the world less divided.

I know what you mean.I'm not biracial but I was teased a lot for being yellow. What people need to understand is that your ethnicity or your body or your hair doesn't make you who you are your heart does.Your identity is your personality.Not your outside. Of course other people are going to judge but never let them hurt you.

I know only racist people think like this blacks can achieve greatness also. I am black and I am adopted and thank you for adopting black kids. I am so happy when a family adopts black kids because the need is huge.

Thank you very much for your comment.

Q- How do they teach these children to have what my family calls tuff- skin? Q- Are these children the only people of color in their world? Q- that child will at some point have questions about them self. How will they answer them? If these parents are not well informed before they "save" these children. They may do more damage then saving.

And the way he was cutting that little boys hair lets me know that he's done zero research on raising black kids.

i wonder if they tell them that their religion was forced on slaves also the bible states its ok to be a slave and have them...

@Allina277 I would encourage you to continue to accept any race. The fact is, most social workers prefer to put children with families that look like they do. In addition, since fewer families of color adopt (I'm guessing it's expensive) many more children of color are available than white children. Chances are, you'd get a child of your own race, particularly if you are African American. In the end, kids need a family. Any difficulty due to race is outweighed by the benefit of not being orphans

I'm glad you liked it.

Saw video because I saw the name Inclan.. There are very few Inclans and I like searching my last name. :)

I hate the missionary "religious" ideas presented in this video, however the idea of having a restricted meritocracy because of lack of white privilege is completely true and should be looked at harder to see what we can do to fix these problems. I sometimes believe that we can successfully live in a equal multiracial society without racism and discrimination but I wonder what needs to be done to get to that level.

Can someone explain me this title? What does really mean "Black Skin, White Heart"?

Being adopted, being Korean & Black, being told "not to tell anyone you are adopted", being told not to tell anyone you were born in Korea, being raised in the hood, being teased, chased, and beat up almost everday for being too yellow to be Black, being adopted for being to Brown to be Korean, now at 52 yrs old, I'm Just Being but unable to put roots down anywhere, & if anyone asks, the bible says I'm identified with Christ...but even that doesn't resolve my issues of race & self identity.

Sounds like conquistador talk: "sense of duty of adopting trans racial babies for whites, has a missionary feel to it, saving children and bringing them to the true religion."

I am a woman not a man, but i get what you mean. I have to say i have been lucky enough not to experience racism myself. people have might felt curiosity for my situation but not at the point where it made me feel unconfortable.

IMy gosh, that Caucasian couple spoke with 100 times more wisdom than that indian woman! I get so upset when I hear about "white privilege", especially because I grew up ugly and creepy, and was put down alot. Those kids looked so happy! What a beautiful thing!

@honeytessie - I don't know about other people but I'm not "saving" anyone by adopting my African American daughter, she saved me from a life of knowing a little baby was missing from my family. Her skin color was incedental.

I hate the term "people with colour". I've never met someone who is colourless.

I don't really understand. I am adopted transracially and I have never had people be racist to me and I live in the south. I play polo and have a pretty ok life...the only racist activity I can speak of would be black people calling me 'stuck up' or 'oreo' lol

Nice video. Really beautiful. I don't like the title.

Hi I am white and i was adopted by black parents I was the only case on my city or better say in the all county. I may be been lucky anogh of never experiance racism, of course people was curius and still are of my situation but not on a way that make me unconfortable. My parent are great and they never made me feel different from them.

And it won't because you needed to connect with the heritage and culture of your people to know where you belonged and what you came from. I hope that you have Korean and African people around you who love you and can help you find your place in the cultures of your heritage.

A believe that adopting or saving a child is a amazing because I am adopted myself but I am not having babies before my time because I don't want to have that child feel the pain that I do

I would thought American people would be more advanced the us in respect of skin color. I was adopted from different color parents (long time a go) and never had any issues on this matter even so should have harder back then... yes i was aware of my mum been way different then me not just for color but from phisical appearance my parents are originally from Nigeria and I was adopted in Italy i am white. I find strange that in this days people still having problem in this respect.

I have seen black adopt white kids and I have never seen Asians adopting whites. Europeans never colonized Asia like they did to the Africa and the Americas. To be honest white people should be helping blacks and native children who were treated horrible. My parents always wanted to adopt black or white children never asian.

I believe this country and the world will b much better if they ignored skin color. I bet God looks down and sees the ingorance of men and how they mistreat there brothers and sisters he will be ashame.

i like that

Wow look how great these white parents are! This felt wrong, especially the title

People are stupid

You have the wrong information for your sources, Joseph never taught that the blacks were the devils race and will not go to heaven." Joseph taught that all people are children of God, and have the same capacity of other men.
