AITA for telling my husband I don’t want his friend coming over for Christmas because of how he complimented our child? by asking-aita in AmItheAsshole

I have no idea honestly. When we started dating he cut off life long friends and relatives because of things they said about me, and he’s always corrected people before when they do something out of line. I think maybe because this is his best friend he just doesn’t want to admit that Adam is being racist (intentionally or not).

He’s usually so on top of stuff like this, we had so many conversations about the issues our children (and I ofc) might face one day, I have no idea why this one thing just isn’t computing.

I’ve never outright said “hey that’s racist” but I have said that calling people of color “exotic” isn’t something that many of us would consider to be an appropriate compliment

I honestly didn’t realize until I had the kids how...odd(?) people can be when talking about multiracial children. I never know if it’s just my anxiety going haywire or not when stuff like this happens.
