No. The United States Supreme Court addressed this controversial matter in the landmark case Palmore v. Sidoti, 466 U.S. 429 (1984). In that case, a Caucasian couple got divorced and physical custody of the only child was awarded to the mother who subsequently chose to marry an African-American man and relocate to a historically African-American community. The ex-spouse requested that the court modify the initial custody arrangement on a strictly race-based motive. Although the lower Florida court approved the modification, the decision was ultimately reversed by the U.S. Supreme Court. They held that social stigmas, particularly those associated to race, cannot serve as the basis in custody determinations.
