but here is my take. I am not mixed. My daughter is white/hispanic. My husband now is black. I think part of what may be so hard for your wife is having heard all of the racist remarks from her family in the past, and now the realazation that part of her heritage is what her maternal family bashed for so many years. I can imagine that is hard to accept.

Racism in any form is wrong. It is especially wrong when it involves children. My husband and I can take the racist remarks, but when it is our children, that is way different. My grandfather was racist, and was never accepting of my marriage. It was so hard for me.

Racism hurts to the very core of a person. The person being judged, can do absolutly nothing about it. They have done nothing to deserve it. It is painful, and unfortunatly it is something that will always be with your wife.

Love and support her. Let her know that this situation does not change who she is deep down. She is still the woman you fell in love with, and you will always stand tall by her side.
