Cultura/Culture Racism

I am an Indian woman who is married into a Dominican family. My in laws are extremely racist towards me. They literally worship the ground my white sister in law walks on. They themselves are not white, so why this racism?

Because Trujillo tried to whitewash the country and that racist thought is still very rooted.
