This study explores how the self-defined ethnic identity of 1.5-generation Korean immigrant parents influences their support for children facing racial discrimination. Findings suggest that parents identifying as Korean American are more likely to have open discussions about discrimination and actively pass down their ethnic and cultural heritage to their children.
