The Adoptee Next Door

Torie DiMartile: Amy Coney Barrett and the White Savior Narrative


Listen Later

Over the past week it's become clear that most U.S. Americans view Amy Coney Barrett’s transracial family as noble, good and representing all things decent. However, transracial adoptees have a different take. It seemed to showcase white saviorism and virtue signaling. Torie and Angela discuss why the Supreme Court nominee's comment was so polarizing and why conversations about transracial adoption are so divided that even hearing directly from transracial adoptees, isn't enough to counter the dominant fairytale narrative. 

You can reach out to Angela through her website or on Instagram @angieadoptee.
