Kumar is a representative of what many call a "model minority" group. Here he is just simply mentoring the "problem minority" child.

That sounds like a variation of the House Negro.
"When you read about him in history during slavery he was called "Uncle Tom." He was the house Negro ...
The house Negro usually lived close to his master. He dressed like his master. He wore his master's second-hand clothes. He ate food that his master left on the table. And he lived in his master's house--probably in the basement or the attic--but he still lived in the master's house.
So whenever that house Negro identified himself, he always identified himself in the same sense that his master identified himself. When his master said, 'We have good food,' the house Negro would say, 'Yes, we have plenty of good food.' 'We' have plenty of good food. When the master said that 'we have a fine home here,' the house Negro said, 'Yes, we have a fine home here.'" -- Malcom X
