[quote=Anonymous]I am also native, OP.

If my inlaws were making these types of remarks-- I would give them ONE shot. Either myself or my husband would explain that these remarks are hurtful and why. If your husband is so hell-bent on defending his parents because they are from 'a different generation', then tell him, this is his opportunity to tell them a bit about the history of my people, the suffering and oppression (I know horror stories as I am sure you do-- native teenagers with FAS killed by white teenagers (who are then given probation), old men beaten by white guys when they go to down, job discrimination, etc). Tell him that if he is soooo confident it is just a generational gap, then it is his job to educate them.

After they have had this schooling-- you will not tolerate any more remarks. If they make one in your presence, you will be gone-- with your children-- not to return until they have made a profound apology to you and your kids. And you will only forgive once. The second time, no apology will be bringing your kids back.[/quote]
