“questioned my wife's family's cultural practices”

My wife thought I was being racist when I questioned her family's mop pad orientation, which made me feel hurt and offended

What I wish I knew
"more about her family's cultural practices before speaking"
If I could tell you one thing
"be more mindful of cultural differences in your partner's family"
