I agree with the idea that parents should be approved to be parents. At its core, it’s a wonderful altruistic idea. It benefits future children who will one day be adults and have power to affect the world, making it a better place. I do think that that racism could arise from this. There isn’t such thing as an unbiased person, so an unbiased person will be doing the judging. The people who are judging will most likely have their based on the mainstream values of our culture, and our mainstream cultures and values are influenced mostly by white culture and values. The judges can first look at people and base what they think of them on the way they talk and dress. This will not jive with what the judges think to be good and morally proper because it doesn’t fit into mainstream culture; they will deny them the right to birth children based on this and not their capacity to be a good loving parent that fits into good behavior. Of course this won’t happen all the time, not even half of the time but it is still a concern. It is a subtle form of eugenics, weeding out the lesser more violent brut races and the proper race (whites) will survive.
There are measures to take to avoid this. One, If there is a minority candidate being interviewed, make sure there is representation of the same race if they are being judged by a panel of people. Two, for the people who interview, have them go through learning programs to understand minority cultures through learning their traditions and values
