(26,388 posts)His brother is deceased now but his SIL is still living there. She loves it. But I'm not surprised by that.
Back during the Civil Rights movement in the 60s and 70s, she researched emigration to Australia because she heard that they only accepted White immigrants. Her husband told her that Australia has Black Indigenous people so she lost interest.
Her sister's husband had a half Vietnamese daughter from his service time there before he was married. The girl had tracked him down and contacted him. Her mother was not in her life for reasons I don't remember. He confirmed that she was his daughter and then wanted his wife to adopt her and make her part of the family in the US. His wife was OK with it, but the wife's sister (my ex's SIL) told her that she should oppose the adoption. The SIL actually said, "That girl doesn't need an American family. She's probably got special privileges right where she is because she's half American. She's just looking for money because she thinks all Americans are rich."
But of course the opposite was true. The US had not yet left Vietnam at the time and being half American was a liability to her, not a privilege. She needed a stable, safe environment. Her Americsn father and his wife wanted to do the right thing by her.
So that SIL of my ex is right at home in the Villages as an enthusiastic MAGA.
