[quote=Anonymous]I am Team SIL. I have an Asian, 3rd generation, American DH and my mom always wonders why we don’t visit her Midwestern town more. Gee, mom, maybe because you make awkward over-the-top comments that you think are “welcoming” but are constantly making my family feel weird about DH and DD’s races? Maybe because all of the neighbors are convinced that DH is some kind of hired help and could not possibly be related to me, and you constantly tell us that like it’s funny? Maybe because when I ask where we should go to eat that’s good, you suggest a restaurant that your one token Asian acquaintance told you to go to 30 years ago? Maybe because my siblings and SILs and BILs have let their families pull that “where are you really from?” crap at every major family event? OP, your SIL isn’t making up discomfort to inconvenience you or get her way and choice of vacation, I promise.[/quote]
