But Dela Cruz said that the progress made in Asian American visibility is undeniable and that it’s pertinent for people to demand visibility amid the vitriol to inspire progress for future generations. With the hateful rhetoric and violence aimed at Asian Americans, it can be especially difficult for youth in the community to ride the “Asian wave,” or take pride in the advances in representation that have taken place in recent years. “Rather than focusing solely on what they say to kids about race, white parents should think more critically and carefully about how what they do on an everyday basis may actually reproduce the very racist ideas and forms of racial inequality that they say they seek to challenge,” Hagerman wrote.ĭela Cruz admitted the pandemic has created a distressing environment for all communities. Hagerman noted in Time magazine that while white families often say they embrace diversity, their behavior suggests their “desire to protect practices of segregation within diverse schools that offer advantages to their kids.” The scholar wrote that everything from reading materials found around the house, to when parents feel it’s appropriate to lock their doors can color how children see race. In some cases, those who spew racist ideas have not been given verified information, he said.Ĭiting “Despite the Best Intentions: How Racial Inequality Thrives in Good Schools,” sociologist Margaret A. He said he feels that children often miss the context around why individuals harbor racist thoughts or feelings during the pandemic in an effort to foster empathy. The “Blues Clues & You!” host explained that condemning racism is just a portion of the work, however. Richelle Concepcion, president of the Asian American Psychological Association, similarly recommended that parents should remind their Asian American children that the racism they’re seeing isn’t personal, but is rather rooted in misinformation around the virus. And we're celebrating that and, especially now as a country, we're celebrating that in spite of all the misinformation and all of the blame that's going on,” he said. “The way that you look and the way that you are is beautiful. For Asian American children in particular, he said they need to hear that the ongoing anti-Asian sentiment is not their fault, but a product of misplaced blame. In addition to giving children space to air their thoughts, Dela Cruz says parents should also explicitly condemn the racism that their children are seeing or hearing about. These kids are going to start to get confused about, ‘Oh, I should avoid Asian people.’ Instead of … how to practice good hygiene.” It's also so unhelpful in the time that we're living in now. "I don't believe that child is racist at all, but it's not only the beginning of that bias that she is starting to develop. “It’s really disconcerting to me, because that's, that's so wrong," Dela Cruz said. When her parents asked why, the girl said “coronavirus” and pointed to an Asian American. Dela Cruz said he himself was recently reminded of this after reading a news article about a reported bias incident in which a young girl allegedly told her parents she thought she was going to die. Research shows that children as young as 3 have exhibited prejudice. There are real emotions and there are real thoughts that go through their heads.”ĭela Cruz, who’s currently in between seasons, underscored that children have legitimate feelings and thus are capable of developing opinions based on speech or events unfolding around them. There's no dialogue like, ‘Well, I feel this and I don't know why I feel this way.’”ĭela Cruz added: “We need to open up that conversation and, like in our show, take what kids have to say seriously. And so what happens is that there are a lot of confused feelings. A lot of the time in the conversation, parents will tell you what's right and what's wrong. "How do we talk about this to our kids? I think that the first step is to talk to kids. I am nervous and I am anxious and a little bit scared," he said.
