What do you tell your child about racism in school

My primary school kid is a experiencing racism for being Indian. We are Singaporeans (multi-generation) but she’s being teased about being Indian and she comes back crying, wishing she was Chinese instead. I am at a loss on what to tell her.

Oh mama, my heart goes out to you both — first, let her cry it out and validate her feelings so she knows she's heard! 💔 Remind her how beautiful and special her Indian heritage is, and that the problem lies with the kids teasing her, not with her. Please do report this to the school as racism should be taken seriously and Singapore schools are obligated to address it! You're already an amazing mama for standing up for her — she's so lucky to have you!
