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.
Source(s): Do other groups have issues we'd all like to avoid if possible? Yes. In fact--- every group does so good luck avoiding everybody :) "But Kevin. Some groups have better genes!" Really? Who? Explain it. - 5 years ago
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.
