Sandy has dismissed the values of that family. This is common in White and racists environments. The parents only have themselves to blame. They should have raised Michael in a more diverse environment. It is obvious that the kids hate being different. The kids grew up with a support system. Therefore, Micheal accepts the racists remarks from his wife as he probably did when he was kid from the other kids. He probably just happy to be loved by a white woman. It's sad.

If you live in an English speaking country for long enough (generations) the need to learn another language will die because of the internationalism of English. We should fight against this 'narrowing' of cultural experience.

Everyone should try to learn another language. I am working on it too^^

I am sorry the daughter in-law does not get it. No matter where you live your culture is your culture. As for the son I hope he matures to the point that he can fully appreciate how beautiful he is, and he is what he is because of his parents. His children should know them and love them. Not treat them with the disrepect that he and his wife show them. It takes effort to know your in-laws ask them questions and learn. It's the only way to make sure your husband is happy and at peace.

Thank you for posting this, it gives light and rejects stupid stereotypes that the world viewer people as. I so much respect for the parents how they lived their lives freely without worrying about the world putting them down. It's just sad that Michael is unwilling to compromise with his parents and allows his wife to misunderstand his parents without attempting to understand their perspective.

He's the oldest son so he should be understanding of his parents point of view. So he should have educated his wife of his culture differences. Parents will automatically have their guard up with their kids spouses, until they put in faith that you love their son or daughter, respect them as an elder and to make right choices.

Wow, I'm sure the parents are not perfect, but Sandy ...there is just too much to say. She flat out tried to say that after being in this country for 35 years Mike's mom should know more about AMERICAN culture. There is no 1 American culture. Then she forgot that his father is American soshe played the ignorance card. You married a biracial man you kids are going to be multiracial, you would think that at some point she might try to learn about the cultures her husband grew up with.

That Kimchi comment was really rude for the daughter in law to make. It seems that the son has been very disrepectful to his parents.  But i'm sure there are lots of things a viewer that we don't know.

Oh, great. I was kind of bummed about the estrangement, too. Funny, since I only know these people from this documentary.
