[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is so afraid of Syrian refugees and thinks ISIS has infiltrated them and so they should not be allowed in the country.

She also hates her Mexican neighbors.

She goes on rants about this stuff at dinner and we all just quietly eat our food. It is awkward because I am a middle eastern immigrant.[/quote]

I can relate. I am an immigrant of color too and my in laws say the most casually racist things about all non-white groups except my group (I have no doubt they cover my group behind my back). They don't even rant; they just say things as if stating facts. I would prefer rants because the ill intent there is easier to confront than passive aggressive "innocent" comments. I have lost a lot of respect for my in laws. The hilarious part is that they ask DH why I never call or talk to them unless we are in person.[/quote]

OP here. I know exactly how you feel. I just cannot and do not respect her. I have honestly tried a lot and tried to come to terms with her toxic view points. The scary thing is she sits at home all day and gets brain washed by FOX news.And then she takes them so seriously she thinks they are telling her facts.

Shes so casually racist and an islamophobe. I love my dh dearly but I'm regretting my decision to marry into this family. I am a good person and I do not need to hear casual racism towards immigrants; people of color and muslims.

PP here. I am with you, OP. I regret marrying into DH's family too. Their behavior is going to cost them. I come from a background in which we do a lot for parents. I would have doted on them if not for their racism and classlessness. Recently, MIL injured her hip. My inclination would have been to take time off work and wait on her and foot. Instead, I asked DH to express my sympathy to her and never called. I have talked DH into moving far from them and soon, we will see very little of them. [/quote]
