They still wont call him my fiance

I honestly feel like this might be a black thing (not all blacks) or some other races to idk but i just feel no matter how serious you get with someone they use the phrase "your little friend" me and fiance have known eachother 2 year dated 2 and have been engaged for almost a year and when he comes around they still refer to him as my lil friend idk if I should keep saying something or its not a big deal.
