Buttigieg Opens Up About His Black Adopted Children, Says There Is ‘a Discount’ Depending on Whether You Adopt Black Kids or White Ones

EXCERPT:

BUTTIGIEG: “We said that we wanted to adopt and we, without regard for race -- by the way, anybody who says race is not a thing in this country should experience an adoption process where there are literally different lists. If you say that you want a white kid only, versus if you say that doesn't matter.”
UNKNOWN MALE 1: “Wow!”
BUTTIGIEG: “-- Like literally a different list.”
UNKNOWN MALE 3: "What is that -- what do you -- what do mean by that?”
BUTTIGIEG: “The list for white kid only is longer.”
UNKNOWN MALE 2: “ Hmm.”
BUTTIGIEG: “Uh, and not only that --”
UNKNOWN MALE 2: “ Wow!”
BUTTIGIEG: “-- there was actually a discount, you didn't have to pay a deposit.”
UNKNOWN MALE: "On the fee? Discount.”
BUTTIGIEG: “This is like how it works. I couldn't believe it. So we didn't know anything about the racial identity of the kids until they started to look mixed race, which they are.”
