[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the accepted solution for dealing with racist family members? [b]What about someone who is very nice-only to white people?[/b] This is my MIL. My husband says, "she's old" and ignores her racist remarks. Currently MIL is attempting to dissuade SIL for dating an African American man. I am so appalled and cannot believe this happens still. What can I do? Say? Anything?[/quote] Then the person isn’t actually “really nice”. I wouldn’t bring up race just for the sake of telling her off but I also wouldn’t just ignore it/say nothing if she makes a racist comment in front of you. Tell her how you feel politely but in no uncertain terms. Also let her know that you won’t allow any racist comments to be made in front of any kids you may have. If she persists in making these comments in front of your kids, take them & leave/no longer take them to see her & let her know why.[/quote]
