Well see the thing is I am a white girl and he is an exotic mix of Mexican and Egyptian. I am completely oppisite of him i have blonde hair blue eyes and pale while he is dark skinned black hair and brown eyes. His mother recently found out about me and flipped out on her son and wanted to throw all hell at me it seemed. She freaked out at first cause she says two years age difference is a big difference to her. Then recently she got over us being together but not over the age difference. Then he is slowly introducing me into his family as his girlfriend then soon as his fiance and they disliked the fact i am white and they think i cannot understand spanish so they talked amongest themselves and saying why is he dating a white bitch why not a classy mexican. So i dont know what to do. I just really want them to be able to accept me.

You cannot force people to like or accept you if they don't. More important right now is what is he doing about their behavior?
Does he stand up and tell them that what they are doing is wrong and he won't stand for it? Does he tell them that when you two get married if they want to see the grandkids they had better start treating you like one of the family? He is the only one who has any power to change their behavior by standing firm on these type things and is he in the room when they make those comments? I would really hope not for your sake. I know it's a pain in the ass but not all families love the people their children pick to marry, some come to accept and even love those people over time, some never do and it's constant war UNLESS you refuse to have anything to do with them until their behaivior changes and then stick to it...in some cases this means that part of the family is cut off forever and as painful as that can be it is much better then the petty bullshit and snipping.
