[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BIL says he's never seen this coach mock other kids, or tease them. Just this one child. [/quote]

And he is [i]just wondering[/i] if he should say something? For God's sake, of course he needs to say something. Fight for your kid, for Pete's sake.

And your BIL had better start learning quickly about racism before the child is subjected further.[/quote]

THIS.

No, the child should not have to go up to his HS coach to address the racism towards him solo.  He is a kid, the man is his coach and in HS that could mean bench time rather than anything constructive.  Your brother needs to be all over this leading the way for his child to know it's okay to stand up to racists.

There is a LOT of microaggressions towards Asians, most people would never notice unless their Asian.  On top of that, usually when an Asian speaks about the bias or microaggressions they've dealt with, people will always doubt them first.  Tell them they took it the wrong way, that they must have did something wrong first or that what the experienced was not really what they experienced and had nothing do with them being Asian.

It's even in some of the posts here, like that one that says the mocking needed to be described, as if any type of mocking is okay or that you might have misinterpreted what you saw.

Tell your brother to step up and let your nephew know that you see it, it's not in his head and it's not okay.
