With anti-Asian hate in U.S. rising, parents grapple over whether to talk to their children
Following the Atlanta spa shootings in March 2021, Stefany Stuber sat with her seven-year-old daughter, Olivia Metzler to speak about the racism that has occurred against Asian-Americans due to covid-19. No topic is off the table in her home, and she hopes by speaking openly and honestly about these issues that it can lead to solutions and a better understanding with others. “I really felt like this was a time for me to speak up and address the situation, address the fact that this has been happening forever, forever and a day,” said Stuber. For Reuters.
