There are a number of simple logical tests, mental back-of-the-envelope calculations, you can perform to quickly sort the rhetorical wheat from chaff. When it comes to race-baiting arguments, one of the most cutting is to simply swap out the groups in question. For instance, when Candace Owen replaced “white people” with “Jews” in a slew of tweets by a NYT senior editor, they were immediately banned.
If they’re racist when aimed at Jews, they must also be when they target any other race.
With that in mind, try this on for size:
White children must only ever be adopted by white families.
Racist? You betcha. And so is the reverse — yet that racist proposition is official policy in Australia.
An Aboriginal teenager has made an impassioned plea to a judge to approve his adoption, saying he feels as if “no one is listening” to him, as the NSW Supreme Court decides whether to block the boy’s white foster parents from adopting him because of laws regarding the guardianship of Indigenous Australians.
Richard*, who recently turned 18 and is no longer under the guardianship of the state, has requested to be adopted by his foster parents, who have cared for him since he was two.
His foster parents did not learn of his Aboriginal ancestry until he was seven years old.

That alone tells us almost everything we need to know. If a family can raise a child for five years and not have the foggiest clue that he is “Aboriginal”, then he probably isn’t.
Except, of course, the race industry have their very own version of the racist, old “One Drop Rule”. Once, such racial absolutism was used to deny interracial marriages and other civil rights to blacks. Today, it’s used to deny black children the opportunity to be brought up in safe, happy homes.
At least some in the race industry are starting to see it.
An Indigenous social worker, who initially staunchly opposed the adoption of Aboriginal children, has made a sensational backflip to support the adoption of an Indigenous teenager by his white foster parents.
If you make an automatic, prejudicial, judgement about someone, based solely on their race — especially on the basis of even “one drop” — what does that make you?
Mervyn Taylor, managing director of Ngadhi Family Services […] said: “I opposed because culturally it’s just not acceptable.”
Once again, flip the argument: “Culturally, it’s just not acceptable for white children to be brought up by Aborigines”. How’s that sound?
But, if one person has removed the racist scales from their eyes, there’s plenty more with their fingers in the race-grift pie who aren’t about to change.
SNAICC National Voice for our Children […] CEO Catherine Liddle said “removing our children from family, culture and community perpetrates trauma”. “There is a wealth of evidence that shows the importance of maintaining these connections for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children to thrive,” Ms Liddle said.
AbSec CEO John Leha said Indigenous children should never be adopted, but instead be allowed to “connect with their culture on their country” by being placed with family members or kin.

There’s that Aboriginal magic again.
Because that’s literally all such arguments are: race magic.
And, if you’re arguing that one race has some magic that no others must be allowed to pollute, you’re absolutely a racist.
It would all be almost laughable if it wasn’t causing so many Aboriginal children to suffer.
