[quote=Anonymous]Stop having ok relations with her. Next time she says something insulting, tell her that this is not acceptable. Stop talking to her and don't accept the gifts until she apologizes and promises to stop saying such things.

You can also try snark. If your husband thinks she can talk to you like this, then honey you can also talk to her like that. Tell her so many people from (wherever she is from) are so racist and have not seen the outside world. Just have a smile on your face when you say that. Tell her if we are family, you should love (your home country) too and bombard her with boring details. Or next time she drinks, just straight out make a joke and tell her - Oh no MIL, you are going to be a drunk racist again today.

Does your home, truly depict your heritage? Do you have things that remind you of your home county and show that you are an American but also more than that? Start wearing your story with pride and tell her to stop insulting you and your culture.

Have a clear talk with your husband, the children might not look white. How is she going to react then? And what if they do pass off as white? will your side be completely ignored by her and your DH? Don't have a child with a man who is tied too much to his mother before setting down the rules and enforcing them. Things only get worse with such women when they turn into grandmothers from MIL.
