Does color blindness have moral or ethical issues?

No,

Most people who are colorblind do not consider themselves to be handicapped, and some don't even know that they are colorblind.

They see colors like everyone else, just their perceptions of the colors are slightly different with not as much distinction between various colors.

As far as "moral issues". Almost universally Red was chosen as the "stop" signal, and Green was chosen as the "go" signal. Yet, the most common type of colorblindness is the inability to distinguish between Red & Green.
The "top vs bottom" is still universal, but perhaps it is time for society recognize the needs of the few.

Where did the goat originate from?

The Alpine, Saanen, Toggenberg and Oberhasli originated from different places around Europe. Pretty much all the goats with the upright ears and dished noses/faces originated from there. The Nubian and the Boer originated from South Africa; they both have the floppy ears and the roman nose. The LaMancha originated from America. More specifically, the LaMancha originated from Oregon, United States. The Nigerian Dwarf and the Pygmy Goat originated from East Africa; they are both dwarfed in size. Basically, goats that are similar in characteristics, more than likely, originated from the same place.

It is the most common among men of northern European heritage (German, Dutch, Scandiwegian, etc) at about 10% of individuals affected.

How many children have color blindness in the US?

Evidence from opticians is that about 10% of the male population who have been tested have been found to have some kind of defect in their ability to distinguish between colors, but the percentage is much lower among females. In some cases the defect is caused by a defect in the function of the person's eye rods or cones of his retina, and in others a defect in the nerve cells in his brain. Full color blindness, where everything appears monochromatic is extremely rare, believed to affect less than 0.1% of humans.

How do you make wine?

Wines are made through the fermentation process. Grapes are squeezed to remove the juices. Yeast is added to the juice and it converts some of the sugars into alcohol. Differences occur by varying the type of grapes, whether or not they are skinned before squeezing, the types of yeast that are used and how long they are aged. If you fill a water bottle with grape juice and poke a hole in the top it will eventually ferment and turn into wine. Be careful though, if the hole is too big it will turn the grape juice into vinegar.

If Couples that have normal vision what is the probability of them having a color blind daughter and color blind son?

It depends on a number of different factors. If colorblind is common in either family but the mother/father were lucky enough not to get it, then its a recessive gene. but if its not common in either family then its a very low chance the child will be color blind. Although, if there are numerous people on both sides of the family the probability is very high. It all depends on a lot of different factors. How dominant is the gene? How many relatives are colorblind? If there are any, and they have children, are they colorblind? The easiest way to figure out if the child will be colorblind is to have the kid and test it for colorblind-ness.
