Glad to hear that. I read an earlier article prior to this thread showing up here at BB, and in that article they stated they weren’t going to move.
I can think of some legit reasons why people in that situation might be hesitant to move—they probably have support systems in the community including friends and family, maybe even some aging parents who they’d rather not live too far away from. Still, probably best for the kid that they’re moving out of bigotville now.
Suing a sperm bank because they gave you the wrong sperm is totally fine. It’s still fine if the reason you know it was the wrong sperm was because your child has a different colour of skin than you were expecting. But the “I don’t have a problem with X but other people do so I don’t want my kid to be X,” is a kind of sneaky, round-about prejudice against X - or at least it is an enabler of prejudice.
Still, it’s hard not to be sympathetic. They don’t want their child to be Trayvon Martin or Michael Brown. I wouldn’t just be moving out of the neighborhood, I’d be moving out of the country.

They know they live in a bigoted homogenous area and they don’t want to move. . . . But hey, they like their community so they don’t want to move.
They like their bigoted, homogenous community, and they don’t want to move. But they have to move because their community is bigoted and homogenous.
Who do black people sue because their children have to grow up in a bigoted society?
