[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I have decided not to tell my SIL's boyfriend what is really going on because I realize the truth is wasted on most people.  I had an epiphany this past weekend when a relative who was recently told that her spouse was cheating started complaining bitterly about the people who told her, rather than about her cheating spouse.  In an ideal world, SIL's boyfriend would make tracks before ending up with entitled racists as in laws, but in reality, I realize that most people are inclined to shoot the messenger when told things that hurt their feelings.  My in laws don't have any control over me, so it is not as if they could really do anything to me if I told.  I just can't be bothered with the drama though, so I am staying out of this.[/quote]

It is so awesome for you that you recognize your superiority over other people in terms of looks, intelligence, and morals.  And so great that you know it is not worth your time to try and better the world, even just the small world of your family.  Rock on![/quote]

OP here.  How is it bettering the world for me to end up embroiled in pointless drama?[/quote]

If you cannot see the daylight between having a frank conversation with family about their views on race and being "embroiled in pointless drama" you may not be as evolved and intelligent as you claim to be.[/quote]

I'm sorry.  I didn't realize you got lost along the way. Let me see if I can slow this discussion down and help you out:  My question was in regards to telling SIL's boyfriend about the reason my in laws don't like him.  This thread is not asking for advice on randomly confronting my in laws.  So, your rant about confronting the family regarding race is not useful.  Understood?[/quote]
