Some children are more equal than others

The 1978 Federal Indian Child Welfare Act, was intended to prevent Indian children from being separated from their culture, and requires state foster care agencies to contact the child’s tribe when the child is put into state custody, allowing the tribe to intervene. Isn't it a shame that Hmong or Chinese or African or Irish or Slovakian children are born to people with no "culture" and no "tribe" [extended family] to intervene on their behalf?
