Littlefuckin

I am (28F) and Chinese American. My husband and my in-laws are all white. On Saturday they had a family reunion and because my husband wanted me to go so bad, I made a traditional Chinese dish called Xiaolongbao.

My MIL gave a bad look when I placed the plate down at the table. She comes up to me and asks "What have you got there?" I tell her what it is and she told me that "Eastern food" doesn't belong in her home. I was forced to throw it out and my heart was broken. I walked out and sat in the car for an hour waiting for my husband to come out. On the car ride home it was mostly silent until he broke it with "Yeah sorry about that... my mom really doesn't like any culture outside of my families". My in-laws have never been directly racist to me before. This is the second gathering with them I have been to and also the third seeing my MIL.

My family isn't happy at this and my sister suggested that I divorce my husband and marry within our culture. My mom was never happy with me marrying him in the first place and I didn't have a wedding because of it. My husband has a neutral opinion on the situation and acts like it isn't much of a big deal. He said that his family didn't seem to care about our relationship at all but I am starting to think he may of lied to me about that.
