[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I showed BIL this thread and he wanted to say thanks to everyone. This is all new for him. He's a very good dad but just not experienced in this realm so if he is messing up he is sorry. He has a question I did not think about. Would your answers change if the coach were also a minority (not Asian)? [/quote] No, absolutely not. Just because you are a minority, doesn't mean that you shouldn't be held accountable for racism or prejudice (that old saw that racism = prejudice + power). It sounds like your BIL is doing his best, but he should definitely speak up. Racism against Asian Americans is insidious because it's perpetually denied. Sports bring out the macho and the testosterone and tries to make OK things that just aren't. I've heard abusive language directed at kids by coaches, too, and everyone acts like it's OK. It's toxic and crazy. [/quote]
