Abstract

Research shows that Asian American parents are often hesitant to discuss racism with their adolescents, even if they have experienced racism or discrimination themselves. When they do engage in such discussions, they tend to focus on cultural socialization, emphasizing the transmission of cultural pride and knowledge. Limited research has examined how Asian American immigrant parents and youth discuss race and racism at home. Therefore, this study not only aims to explore cultural socialization and the transmission of cultural knowledge and practices through Korean American parent-child dyad discussions, but also seeks to understand how their insights on race and racism can inform efforts to equitably serve racially minoritized youth in US education systems.
