[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly did these bumper stickers say? [/quote]

This. What did they say, OP?[/quote]

OP here. I don’t really want to say exactly but it was a play on words regarding my race’s perceived substance abuse problem. [/quote]

The Irish have lots of drinking references and they embrace them.  White people are fine with being made fun of and find it difficult to relate to hyper sensitivity. Lots of time whites assume other races are as resilient as they are.[/quote]

Nobody likes being made fun of by outsiders. It's a place of privilege to even have the opportunity to be resilient. Whites have had a fraction of the abuse of minorities, so there is no comparison. By the way, go to Ireland and make some alcoholism jokes and see how far it will get you.

OP, just never leave your kids alone with these idiots. You can handle once a year, verbally correcting every comment they make in front of your kids.

Your DH is the real problem. At best he is embarrassed, not wanting it to be true and defending them. At worst- honestly I'm not sure why he married you if his beliefs are so ingrained he cannot correct his parents. Here's the thing- if he's not stepping up, it's on you. Sent back any offensive gifts immediately in the future. I'd call the dog Black Beauty in front of the kids. These people don't sound like mental giants so it shouldn't be too hard to address/ignore as you choose. I'd let DH know that if he's leaving it up to you, you won't be so nice about it so it would be best if he'd deal with it. If he steps up, good. If he doesn't, oops.[/quote]
