My mother was a foster parent specializing in medically fragile infants. As a pale white woman with pale white biological children, having foster children of other races didn’t bother her in the slightest. But the name of one set of neighbors is still a byword in our family for racism. I mean, here’s my mother, doing more good than you can imagine, being yelled at and ostracized by these people for having police at her house at all hours (to drop off babies) and for having the temerity to take care of less fortunate children who sometimes happened to be not pale white.
I’ve got a thousand stories like that, too.
