Andy continued with a question: what does Andy tell his son, as a parent, regarding this issue? How does one approach the problem of racism? What should the “talk” look like, if it should be a talk at all? His parents never gave him the talk, but Andy called his mom and asked what she would have done. After explaining what racism is, she’d have said this: “You are very special. Keep being yourself. You are never alone. Whatever problems come, let us know and we will go through together.” The two agreed that he’d need to talk to the boys about the racism they might face in their lives, and reinforce the idea that racism is not cool, that the family is against discrimination, so that they’d be aware.
