Since mixed children have a hard time finding organ donors, would you refuse to have a child with someone outside your own race?

Because I still would; I'm mixed myself, even though the genes from my mother's side lucked out a bit more (which is why I appear black at first glance and I identify as black), but the thing of it is, I really wouldn't care about something like organ donors to scare me into not having a child. As for me, I've never once been in a situation when I had to have an organ transplant, but if I ever do and complications arise, the so be it. I am who I am, and I wouldn't change in for the world.

Also... I heard about this from Stormfront. ...Yeah, so that right there may completely debunk everything. Although I did see on some... "official" sources talking about it... Only one or two, though.

How do they experience such difficulties?
Certainly not because mixed race children have weaker organs.

Fact:
African Americans are three times more likely than others to suffer from kidney disease. Almost 34% of the more than 101,000 people on the national waiting list for a kidney transplant are African American.

Based on that should I avoid having African American children because apparently they're gonna need an extra kidney one day? >.< No.
Are African Americans genetically predisposed with awful kidneys? No.

Managing one's high blood pressure, monitoring one's diet & seeing a doctor regularly works for everyone, regardless of race. So... What else?

Some groups have a culture of organ donation. My people? Not so much.
Why? Scared the hospital will kill us on purpose just to get our livers, kidneys & eyeballs. Am I joking? A bit... But all the same we're not giving anyone an extra excuse to be mischievous while we're knocked unconscious.

What does it mean if we need a kidney?
It means there may not be one available because organs don't grow on trees nor are they manufactured in a Chinese toy factory. Someone, preferably a close family member, has to donate a kidney or one must be obtained from a recent!y dead body. A Hungarian, Mexican or Turkish kidney may work & many do but close family members work best. Why?

Compatible blood types & tissue markers—critical qualities for donor/recipient matching—are more likely to be found among members of the same famiily/ethnicity. Closest matches are family members, then ethnic group & so on but chances of finding a match decrease as we move outside the immediate family--- which is the issue you've presented.

Who is the most generous organ donor in our country?
The white female. Living or dead she out gives every other group.

lol. what? that isn't true. where are your sources? I would have a child outside my own race. Skin color is literally just melanin. That's like saying as a brunette I wouldn't have kids with redheads or blondes.

The odds of them needing a donation are slimmer, so no.

What? I have never heard such thing in my life.
