[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are Asians and I tell my kids to brush off racism and be focused on their goals. [b]People of all races have biases.[/b] If we as first gen immigrants have thrived in this country, our kids who have gone to good schools with an abundance of resources should have no excuse. Call out the racism but never let it be a hindrance. When admissions are tougher for Asians, I tell my kids they have to work harder, it will benefit them in the long run.[/quote]

Thank you for being self-aware. My kid is white and attends a high-achieving HS along with many Asians. Though he has tried to join some Asian friend groups, he’s never been truly accepted. Other group members will do things and not invite him. [/quote]
I'm sorry for your kid.  Maybe they don't feel he "gets" them, and they come from different backgrounds.  Like, they have immigrant parents and follow their culture, and your white DS would not fit into that.

My kid is half white/half Asian, and his friend group is a mix of white and Asian.  [/quote]
