One soon-to-be parent used social media to talk about the problem of subtle racism that indian children, particularly young girls, confront in American schools. He believes that indian children—especially girls—are quietly taught to feel as though they don't measure up to American ideals of beauty from an early age. This might include suggestions, both overtly and covertly, that a person's features or skin tone are not as attractive as those of their white counterparts. These encounters may have long-lasting effects on one's cultural identity and sense of self.
 
Not just children of indian descent deal with these issues; the majority of minorities in America do as well. According to the data that is currently available, students from minority groups are frequently subjected to acts of prejudice and microaggressions. These behaviors may not be intentional, but they still leave a lasting unfavorable effect on their identity and sense of self-worth. Most of the time, these encounters led to youngsters of color internalizing racism even more and starting to accept the derogatory stereotypes about their ethnicity.
 
When it comes to indian children, instances of covert racism can manifest itself in ways that cause them to feel embarrassed of their ancestry and dehumanize them to the point that they speak negatively about their own culture in an attempt to fit in. This might cause identity and self-esteem issues long into adulthood. In order to address these problems in schools, staff members and instructors must be trained to recognize and address microaggressions and promote a diverse workplace culture. It is important to put in place strategies that let every child be happy with who they are and not feel pressured to conform to a limited set of social norms.
