Im not sure I understand how the child would be the person who suffers. As long as the mother is able to care for the kid then the kid will be fine a could go their entire life without even knowing what really happened. However, the mother has to go through the ordeal and the potential discrimination that may go along with having a mixed race child.
You say that the mother asking for compensation presumes we live in a world where mixed raced children are social outcasts. You can not deny that there is lots of publicity about discrimination of black people. Parts of our society do discriminate against black people and thus may discriminate against the mother of a mixed race child. (I am not saying I agree with this, just that it exists). I bet swag has experienced discrimination at some point in his life. The whole black lives matters is based on the idea that discrimination is happening every day. So yes for some people in some communities it is very possible that having a mixed race child could bring hardship to the mother and potentially the child.
As far as the refund for the in-vitro being enough compensation, imagine you and your wife had a baby and during the hospital stay your baby got switched with another baby in the nursery. Now lets say your biological baby got in a car accident on their first birthday and died, thus leading to them finding out that the babies were switched in the hospital. If the hospital offered to refund the money for the hospital stay would you just accept the whole situation and that be the end of it? your current baby is happy and healthy so you could say that it was a fair "trade". So by your reasoning all should be fair even though "I didn't get the right "product" but I'll take it anyways." and be truely happy that you have the child in the first place.
