[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see plenty of other races in my son's gymnastics and ice skating class.  As a matter of fact, in the 2 years that he has been in gymnastics, he's the only asian in his classes.  Likewise with ice-skating, he's the only asian in the classes he's been in for the past year.  FWIW, we started ice-skating because he wants to play ice hockey (yes, a contact sport!), and we would be fine with him doing this.  He also plays soccer and if/when he gets bored of it we intend to introduce him to karate as I hear it helps with confidence building.  We also do worksheets because he actually likes it, and it's not so bad to learn a few things from paperwork!

I see my son as innocent and sweet and I hate to see him face a world where other children are taught prejudice from their parents.  [b]I grew up in an environment where I was teased because I am asian (kids making slanted eyes, or doing karate kid kicks as I walked by).  I grew thick skin and managed to ignore it but it was a dreadful experience when one is only 7 years old. [/b] [/quote]

pointing out that Asian kids do swimming, ice skating, golf, tennis, tae kwon do, and gymnastics is not teasing.[/quote]
