[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Several years ago my brother married a girl from another country.  They've been married now for a few years and have a child.  Last weekend DH and I threw a party where we invited our family and friends.  One of my friends is also from that country, so I thought they'd hit it off since SIL always seemed very shy around other Americans.  Well, my friend called me last night and sounded somewhat upset.  She said that throughout their conversation, SIL was calling other Americans derogatory names, bashing U.S. education systems and overall, and kept saying how superior kids from her home country are to American ones.   My friend asked if we knew this was going on.  We don't speak the language and neither does my brother, so we never know what she's talking about even with her kid.  Why would you marry someone whose culture you find so distasteful?  Most important - should I even mention anything to my brother?

FWIW, she had her green card for a few years now.[/quote]

Since I know you appreciate diversity and free speech, I trust you enjoyed such a display of both.[/quote]
