[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused as to why you were able to quickly figure out why these parents disliked you (at first) but your SIL's boyfriend can't figure it out for himself?

Are they using their conditional acceptance of you as "proof" that they are not racist and it's all about him?  If so, I think I would talk with my husband about it and maybe have a sit down together with this couple.  Not to cause trouble but just to show your support for them...you've btdt and know what they are contending with,[/quote]

OP here.  I think another poster a few pages back nailed it:  I am throwing his radar off.  He sees that they have a black in law and we all seem to get along, so this means race can't be an issue, right?  Of course, if he could read my mind or go back in time to see how things were when DH and I first started dating, he would quickly realize that race is the issue.  I am not going to have a sitdown with SIL and her boyfriend because I realize I actually don't care enough to get involved.  When I engage my in laws, it will be for my sake.  As it is, we will probably be moving away from
them soon enough, so I might not have to waste my time trying to reeducate them.[/quote]
