Well, you can’t change your parents and their lack of education. You can privately visit with them for a sit down conversation to let them know what they say that bothers your husband. You can be nice about it with them.

I think the current climate is extremely racially sensitive, more so than I have seen in a while. Chances are your parents are not trying to intentionally to make your husband uncomfortable.

Some people are just “simple” not bad, not racist but just simple and on the naive side. With patience they can be slowly enlightened.
