MIXED RACE FAMILY/IN LAWS

Anyone find it hard to relate to your significant others family?

My husband is Hispanic and real dad is black. His mom is Hispanic and married a white man (my husbands step dad).

We all get along just fine for the most part but sometimes I find it hard to relate to them. My husband doesn’t communicate with his real dad and doesn’t have a fatherly connection with his stepdad... as a matter of fact, my dad is more of a father figure than my husbands dads are.

My MIL has another son between her and her Husband and decided to tell this super awkward and uncomfortable story about when the guys were kids...

She mentioned that they fought all the time and my husbands little brother says to him, “well at least I’m not a nigger!” Then life’s as if that was supposed to be funny...

This made me and my husband so uncomfortable. I even said out loud how terrible that was and where did he even learn to talk about being a “nigger” in such negative context at a young age? Let her tell it and she doesn’t know.

My husband never got to be around or know his black side so he just enjoys being with my family so much more. We have also had an incident when a drunk cousin of his (white/Mexican) called our daughters niglettes and my husband fought him.

I know that my in laws love our kids but I honestly don’t feel comfortable being around them all the time.. not to mention they’re just boring as hell. Oh and did I mention that they are trump supporters? 😂
