Lots of lulz in this situation.
Basically, there was a mixup at the sperm bank. They were given a black sperm sample instead of the one they ordered -- sperm from a blond haired, blue-eyed man.
Now, I can understand why they're pissed. It is understandable that you want a baby of your own race, and the sperm bank should have been careful to deliver as promised. I don't fault them for suing the sperm bank for this screwup.
However, rather than just being straightforward about the situation -- that they are white, preferred a white baby, and paid for the sperm of a white man -- the lawsuit is full of LOL "damages".
These include:
- They can't get the half-black child a haircut in their white bread town because nobody knows how to style black people's hair. So they have to drive to a black neighborhood where they are "not welcomed".
- The child won't be accepted in their small, racist town. But somehow this bigoted town would otherwise have otherwise accepted a lesbian couple with a kid just fine.
- The butch one has a racist family, so this is also causing her family not to accept the kid.
This might be the first time ever that someone is being sued because an action is causing the plaintiff's family to be racist.
