Imagine being constantly referred to by your race instead of your name by your future in-laws. That’s what one woman is facing, and she’s had enough. Her fiancé is Mexican, and his family has taken to calling her ‘white girl’ ever since they started dating. At first, she tried to brush it off as affectionate teasing, but after three years, it’s still happening, and she’s feeling alienated and embarrassed. She finally asked her fiancé to talk to his family about it, but their reaction was far from understanding.
