[quote=Anonymous]I have 2 half Asian kids, one in 8th grade. You have to start talking to them now about their heritage. The bullying is not extreme, I'm not an alarmist, but I will be realistic and tell you it has gotten worse since Covid. Also, it was there before. For instance: Lower ES: Your face looks funny, what are you? Upper ES: Your people want to bomb us. (This is where teaching heritage came in, DS apparently rolled his eyes and said, "I'm South Korean you idiot") Middle School: Mom, Asian kids are getting bullied in the hallways, even if they aren't Chinese. Kids are saying they are killing their families. Middle School: I'm so glad I only look half-Asian and can pass for white if kids don't know my name (I'm mom and white), then I won't get bullied. (This is the one that literally broke my heart to hear) So like I said above, not extreme, but not benign either. Prep your kids to understand what may happen as age appropriately as you can.
