@thecabinetbarn Sorry to hear that. My kids are also asian (half), though we live in Texas and about half the kids at any school here are hispanic, which my kids could pass for. Anyways, this was a big concern for me having grown up with racist fools in the 80s and 90s. Mostly I want my kids to be aware of racism and about people who are typically racist. So first, I often call out racism that I see be it in public or on TV or where ever I see it, and I don't try to hide it from them. We let it be known that people being racist (regardless of the persons race or who it is directed at) are coming from a sad and ignorant place. Pity them because they are morons and will certainly only hurt themselves and alienate themselves from majority of their peers, also their future is probably going to be garbage. Something to fall back on while seeing someone make a fool of themself.
I make sure my kids know the world is full of different people of all sorts of different races and while we have the fortune of having the opportunity to have experience being around people of various race and background, others are not, and while we shouldn't excuse that behavior, it's not worthy of our attention because it's mostly born out of fear and ignorance. Anyways, I basically tell my kids to ignore it, if that doesn't work, tell a teacher, if that doesn't work call them out in front of everyone for being a racist POS. If things go beyond this, I'm probably suing the school for not ensuring a safe environment for my child to learn and not properly handling bullies causing the issues.
