Asian solidarity for our POC brothers and sisters is just our regular way of life and it starts at birth

+2.

So your kids know all the black people that did something worthwhile. Do they know all the asian people that revolutionized our world rather than just talking loudly about rights?

Bizarre comment. Another Asian family here and of course. "Talking loudly about rights?" GTFOOHWTBS

What, you're so strange! My kids know Liu Xiabo recently passed, and that it was the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square a few days ago. They challenged the legitimacy of those in power, unjust economic policies, corruption, and restrictions on the political process, and lack of accountability and constitutional due process -- all of which is relevant to the USA in 2020.

How nice! Black families don’t get to make that decision. You are part of the problem. The protests are in vain—cops are being scapegoated for a system of racism. You are more at fault that police.

Attending a diverse school is nothing. News flash—racist stuff happens in diverse environments. In fact, more so simply because if you are in a homogenous environment there are other issues at play and no one to pick on for their race.

I think the best lesson is to point out that there are people of all races/cultures from all over the world who contributes to the progress of humankind: science, medicine, literature, sports, arts. I also find that reading fairly tales from different cultures predisposes young kids to accepting them easier later on.
You could also point out that sometimes there are bad people out there, and they can be any race.
I do not believe there are any double standards, though, and will not teach my children to think that and/or feel guilty.
