It is just an idea.
It's a fucking disgusting, racist, inhuman and foul idea.

The global trade agreements coupled with the nanny welfare state. First the globalists shipped all the high paying low skill manufacturing jobs to China. And then the government stepped in with welfare money to replace those fathers who used to support their families. Those fathers had no role in society any more, so ended up in trouble. Either in jail or dead.Instead of making silly arguments about fatherless black families, why not discuss poverty? Decades ago, it was much easier for young black men to find decent paying jobs, even without a college education. All of the older black women that I am friends with, are or were married. They raised children as couples. So what has changed? When I worked as a home health nurse, most of my older black patients were or had been married. We live in different times. What has changed?
That is what has changed.
Marriage is a poor proxy for either the number, or the quality, of parents in a family in the twenty first century.
Although I can understand why someone raised in the insanely religion dominated environment of the USA might not recognise that fact.
About half of the couples I know who have children and raise them together are not married; There doesn't appear to be much difference in the likelihood of separating between the married and unmarried ones.
Staying in a relationship solely because a divorce would be complicated and/or expensive is not a recipe for a happy family; If that's the only reason a child's parents are staying together, the child is probably better off if they do separate.
It's not a matter of whether they have a marriage license. It's a matter of whether they have two parents. The real problem is single parenthood, not marriage licenses.
No, it isn't. Single parents can be just as good as the best couples, and couples can be up to twice as bad as the worst single parents.
Stop blindly parroting religious propaganda.
There are no definitively better or worse family structures. What matters is the amount of love and care, not the number, gender, or legal relationship status of the parent(s) or guardian(s).
Number of parents is a woefully bad proxy for the important things about families.

How about "whether there is a full time dedicated care giver"? That caregiver could be a housewife, househusband, grandparent, older sibling, long term hired nanny, etc. I think the idea Loren was looking towards was that against latchkey kids who lack parental guidance.
Ok, so lets consider this for a second. Done.
Even if this were realistic logistically, I don't see Chinese and clamoring for interracial relationships... they tend to be pretty racist.
I did not say that. It is what others (including the people in the youtube) have said. I personally believe they are right but I don't know everything either. But the reason I think they are right is that the data shows us they are right. The colleges entrance exams show that scores of Chinese are above blacks consistently. Whites are somewhere in between.
Well for one thing, a Chinese VISA costs $300 or more. That is insanely expensive IMO. And just offer more visibility to the possibilities that could be, taking advantage of the shortages and opportunities without going into a full blown phands panic mode.
It takes actual intelligence to reject a destructive culture. Intelligence. The ability to get through the rat maze to end up with the final reward at the end of it all. If you see your peers getting shot and/or going to jail, the intelligent person will know that that is the wrong path to the cheese. The intelligent person will reject that culture of life and choose a better one. The intelligent person will survive and reproduce.I did not say that.

But does that actually reflect intelligence, though? I don't think so--rather, I think it reflects culture. The Chinese are very focused on education.
But that only benefits one of the parties (hungry). The OP idea benefits everyone;Here's another: Feed the homeless to the hungry. Solve two problems at once.
You are right.
