Unfortunately you can't fix discrimination issues. You can scream, yell, write letters and things may sway in your direction, but the bottom line is discrimination/stereotypes/prejudice is a way of thinking, not a system issue. Further, do you really want to subject your children to a group where they may not be "wanted."
As parents, we want to do our best and more to protect our children from the evils of the world, however, you can't protect them from ignorance. From your signature line, it appears your children are aged 5-9 years old and are at an age where they're noticing differences amongst themselves and their peers and within their own family. Rather than fighting ignorance, you may want to begin (if you haven't already done so) instill ethnic pride and educate them about racism--in an age appropriate way, of course.
I'm sure these weren't the answers you were looking for, but I do wish you and your children the best of luck!
