[quote=Anonymous]I’m a white woman and married a CBC and I think my MIL is very happy but I know my SIL isn’t. Honestly I don’t think 1st and 2nd gen Asian Americans who are from families of the era and class of assimilation can win. My ILs really pushed assimilation, but now we feel some pangs because culture and language has been lost- especially because culture is usually transmitted through stereotypically female pursuits and I am from outside that culture. At the same time, my ILs look down on more recent and less assimilated immigrants and we don’t fit in with them as a family. I’m guessing they don’t really care, Op, but may just be signaling to you that they are open-minded. Hope for that and let the rest go. And be grateful you’re not the white mom trying to help her kids with Saturday school homework and getting scolded for every misstep by the aunties and teachers![/quote]
