[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the accepted solution for dealing with racist family members? What about someone who is very nice-only to white people? 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] This isn't your business. This is between MIL and SIL. Stay out of it. If your DH doesn't want to get involved, why should you? They're his relatives, not yours. [/quote] Please be aware that children pick up on racist language and attitudes. There are African American children in elementary school struggling with and negatively affected by racist language/attitudes from their peers, and many of these peers got these attitudes from relatives. You may think no one is getting hurt and that your child never hears it, but you are probably wrong.[/quote]
