[quote=Anonymous]OP, I want to side with you, but your post has a couple of red flags. 1) your family hasn’t met your husband., not even on zoom? That to me already sounds tacky and sketch. If true, it doesn’t  look good on the husband. What type of person is okay marrying  someone without getting to know their family?  2) you said you are “mortified” to talk to your husband about what transpired, but in reality you sound scared, why can’t you be open and transparent with your HUSBAND?

About your issue, I am not concluding that what your family said was offensive or not because what matters is that it bothered you. So you should say something. I don’t agree with other PPs who want you to blast your family. A measured response or like others expressed a witty response may be sufficient to send the message. If that doesn’t work, then you can be more direct and short.

Finally, as a Latina I was offended…( just kidding😁) really just rolled my eyes when you called your future child biracial and your family racist against your husband for being Latino.  Please! You sound like you get high on being a victim. Latinos are not one race, we come in all different ‘races’ skin tones and facial features, we are Caucasian, black Asian, but mostly descendants of Spaniards and Latin American Natives. Unless your husband’ skin tone and facial features are drastically different than yours, your child WONT be a biracial baby. People won’t even notice or care. Your child won’t be even bicultural as you already said your husband and his parents were born in the US. I hope 🤞 i’m wrong but your post seems like a white woman's attempt to miss appropriate another’s group legitimate pain and sorrow. [/quote]
