So my boyfriend of almost two years (Dec. 20 is our anniversary) and I just got engaged. His mother is pissed. She's originally from mexico but is an american citizen. Since we've started dating she's made it very clear that she doesn't like me cause I'm white. She's always pressuring my fiancé to date a nice Hispanic girl. Today she did so again right in front of me after knowing for two days that we're getting married.
My fiancé and her don't get along but I want to keep the peace because both of my parents are deceased. The problem is since we've told her she has been extra cruel to me. Calling me ugly and complaining about me being a tomboy. Needling my insecurities. I don't want to be the reason he doesn't have a relationship with his mom.
This situation is tearing me up which in turn tears him up which tears me up even more. I'm not an amazing person but I wish she'd see pass my skin and realize we're good together. Put her love for her son above her prejudices.
I find it somewhat funny because my Texas redneck family completely embraces him, and he gets along great with them. They see we are perfect for one another and accept it.
For us it's never mattered that I'm white and he's Hispanic. We bonded over all our similarities. We're both nerds. We met at work and for six months before we started dating we talked about star wars, batman, and harry potter. I thought I'd always be the girl trapped in the friend zone until he asked me out. He calls me beautiful even though I'm not and I call him dork because he really is. He's a misunderstood goofball who I love and want to spend the rest of my life with him. We're soulmates.

you do know that when jewish and romani people say “never forget” we mean “learn about the holocaust so you can recognize the warning signs of facism and genocide” not “repeatedly bring up the holocaust whenever anything bad happens and exploit our pain and trauma to make people care about your cause” and when we say “never again” we mean “take action to prevent any stage of genocide on any scale by any means, hold collaborators responsible and don’t be complicit” not “only care about genocide when it’s too late”, right? or did you think it was just a fun catchphrase?
So, I’ve been pulled over a few times in my life. Not many, but a few. And I’ve also been in a couple of cars that got pulled over. And let me tell you, if you were actually doing something wrong, the officer doesn’t make any small talk, just straight into “I clocked you doing 70 in a 55.” The only time I’ve ever gotten the “do you know why I pulled you over?” was the time when I wasn’t doing anything wrong, and I got let go even though he insisted to the end that I was doing 87 in a 70 (white privilege at work).
“Do you know why I pulled you over?” is a trap. It means there’s a good chance the officer doesn’t actually have a good reason to ticket you, and is trying to get you to waive your 5th Amendment rights and incriminate yourself. If you make a guess, that’s a confession of guilt.
But there’s another trap, that I’ve heard of but haven’t yet experienced. It’s “do you know how fast you were going?” With that one, they’re hoping you’ll say no, because then they can name whatever speed they want – you just said you didn’t know how fast you were going, if you deny the speed they name then you’re lying to them.
So, Michael Rapaport is a complete asshole.

some people really need to understand that there’s a difference between saying ‘they’re a good character’ and ‘they’re a good person’
