[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would want to k ow this. We are Black and would be weary of sending our child to a majority Asian school, given how poorly Asians treat Blacks and don’t support or defend us when it comes to social justice issues. [/quote]
Are you serious??
I teach my children to have respect for every person- that is part of my “Asian” culture . The only group we place above all others are the elderly. We also value education and talk about history a lot and so they are very aware of the history of slavery and civil rights in this country as well as in other countries. We also discuss the legacy of colonialism (both negative and positive) in different countries. We spend a lot of time in museums and we are very familiar with the American history museum, the freer/sackler, the Native American and the African American museums and of course the Holocaust museum 
Maybe I am naive but I feel like I have hopefully imparted an awareness, appreciation and respect for all the varied cultures and historical experiences that make up the tapestry of modern America [/quote]
