If these were Africans would they be viewed as backwards?

yeah.....without even clicking the link.....



having read about the family with all those kids....



that large family stuff is thing of the past here......and is some old school rural farm custom, really.....

the media won't say it explicitly, but people view the actions of this couple as things that uneducated people do.....

just not realistic in american society to have that many kids.....

perhaps in some religious circles among the mormons...but outside of that it's frowned upon.......

This is the world we live in.



several years ago..a white couple conceived using fertility drugs..had 6/7 kids at once....

a couple that had recently immigrated from Africa had the same results in the same week....think they were nigerian..



the first couple was on tv everyday...with media asking people to HELP them....many peopel sent money,supplies,etc....a car company GAVE them a mini van..etc...they had tons of supplies,diapers,etc

african couple was barely a foonote on the news...nobody set up any type of fund for them or donated anything..perhaps only their familes helped them....



it's all good....though.....media places more emphasis and value on white people than others....

nothing surpises me anymore
