"But then came a backlash. Claims of cultural imperialism, wounded national pride, and rare, sad horror stories of exploitation or abuse soured foreign nations against American families. And at home, identity politics and even outright hostility against the Christian adoption movement triggered attacks from some on the left—attacks that were soon to be matched and exceeded by attacks from a racist right."

"In 1972 the National Association of Black Social Workers famously declared white adoption of black children to be a form of “cultural genocide.” But that was decades ago. By the 21st century, American churches were fully engaged in an adoption movement. Families continued to adopt domestically, but they also reached out (like we did) overseas. By 2004, the peak of international adoption, Americans brought home 22,884 children, many of them with special needs, many of them of different races from their new parents." (same article)
I wonder if that is what the movie "Get Out" was saying. The movie describes blacks whose bodies are inhabited by white souls.
You could argue that the movie is a sci fi thriller about rich people being able to inhabit the bodies of healthy younger people, but that would not explain why there are no other races involved -- simply rich suburban whites, and inner city blacks.
