Family is white, aunts, uncles, grandparents. All there.

I'm asian.

Half the people don't talk to me, no pictures of me whatsoever. I guess I'm good enough to eat the food but not have pictures taken of me.

This also happened at Christmas. Odd that the aunts and uncles take pictures of me and her, but not the actual father.


I always thought family "getogethers" invovled everybody that was invited.

Should I have a right to rant?

btw, been together with her for 2 years

YOU think THAT'S Bad.....my best friend from college is black. He goes to his gf's house for columbus day weekend (we had several days off for this). While the gf was showering, he was looking through some photo albums of her when she was younger. Later that evening the parents pulled the gf aside and said 'why was he looking through our photo albums...that makes us VERY nervous' and THEN accused him of trying to steal silverware and some other ****** from their house. They then claim he was very rude to them when he introduced himself. All he said was 'hello, my name is Denis, nice to meet you'.

probably because he can't spell his name right
 
Look let me give out a clue about white people -

We are very warlike and arrogant. Just get up in peoples faces and talk to em and then they will accept you.
 
Are you an outgoing person? If not, that could be a problem. It probably doesn't help that you look different too, but you have to overcome that by talking and getting to know them better.

Well there you go. It's like a white person at an asian person function. I've heard many cases where the white person sorta gets ostracized. Not quite the perfect analogy because in that case it's 90% language barrier.

But ya, they're not used to being with other asians. Find something in common and get "warmed" to them.
 
It's completely normally to feel uncomfortable around your gf's family, and it's also completely normal for them to consider you 'not good enough for her' and ignore you most of the time. So don't worry, that's just how it works......if you ever 'make it big' and start rolling in money, then 'amazingly' they'll all love you and make sure to let her know you're a 'keeper'.

Her mom's side is cool, her dad's side is fully junkies and druggies.

If they include you in the pictures then all of the family photos are going to look like the "What doesn't belong in this group" picture games you used to see in Highlights magazines.
