How do you know? He's a fictional character, his thought process and motivations are whatever the writers want them to be.

Think back to the first film. He mentions that he loves kids, and he's extremely concerned for Lex and Tim when the T. rex is attacking their car (even prior to that, when asking if they're scared). Even more visibly concerned than Grant. Why couldn't he adopt a child and care for her?

Malcolm is shown as someone who loves kids and the only reason why he goes to Isla Sorna is because of how much he cares for Sarah. He's a nice, caring man. Remember when he almost sacrificed himself to save two kids he didn't even know?

Here's a photo of my self 10 year's ago. Pasty skin, but fuller lips and, a wider nose as a result of West African ethnic ancestry. So please shut up Noremac.

Cause there's literally kids everyday that have to emotionally endure saying that person can't be your parent cause of this nonsense humanity can be whittled down to skin colour! Cheers

Then how come he’s not taking care of his other kids?

[fighthefutureofhd]

Who says he hasn't? It could be all his other kids are all grown up and don't need taking care of. Or it could the mother wants him to have nothing to do with their child. It happens.

It's fully possible he is, but Kelly is the one relevant to the film.

[postmodel]

Doesn't he have multiple ex-wives? Doesn't mean all the kids come from the same woman.

Exactly. Which means he most likely doesn’t really care about these kids. And he’s on a lookout for more ex Mrs. Malcolms. I took the line from JP1 as meaning that he loves making the kids, when he said he loves kids. Because he adds, same thing with wives, for that matter. Which goes completely out of character to be taking care of an adoptive or a stepdaughter in JP2.

Slightly off topic, but yes, this is true. Mixed kids can have a hard time. I've heard many stories from people who are half black and half white (there are more ethnic groups and potential combinations, I know), and how they've had something of a rough time growing up. Not white enough for the white kids, not black enough for the black kids, so they sometimes face racism from both camps. Pretty sad situation to be in.

Heck if Noremac is bursting a blood vessel over the Lost World. I wonder what he must think about Sirks Imitation of Life.

Please take this race stuff elsewhere. I was questioning Malcolm’s inconsistent character differences from JP1 to JP2.

So that "obviously she's someone else's daughter" comment had nothing to do with the colour of her skin?

Cause what, she's black?

You questioned his characters daughter being legitimate because she's got black skin, and he's white. You brought the "race" stuff into it.

TRIVIA---Sean Connery and Sam Neill starred in THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER. The two almost reunited for JURASSIC PARK when Steven Spielberg offered the John Hammond role to Connery. Spielberg and Connery worked together in INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE, and Connery was good friends with JURASSIC PARK author Michael Crichton, who directed Connery in THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY. However, Connery wanted too much money, so Richard Attenborough starred with Neill in JURASSIC PARK instead of Connery.

They could easily have addressed all this in the film by having Eddie ask Malcolm why he, a Jewish dude, has a fully black kid. To which Malcolm replies:

'Life finds a way'

Only that it makes it silly for him to be taking care of a stepdaughter. You made this spin about race from the get go and derailed the conversation. Troll on man

That would have been fully in character.

I'm exiting this thread before I really lose it with "obvious" boomer.
