THREAD: My 9yo nephew is learning abt segregation & civil rights movement during #BlackHistoryMonth lessons & asked me what happened to Indian ppl & Asian Americans during that time. This is the same question I had throughout my childhood when I felt invisible bc of my identity. Race issues are usually explained to kids in binary terms - as Black and white - with no attention given to South Asian, Asian, Latinx, or indigenous identities.
