Sounds like my FIL! We get along very well, he loves the kids as much as I do, but whenever I say anything about the boys being Russian, he corrects me and says, "They aren't Russian. They're American." I'll correct him nicely and remind him that they are actually citizens of both countries, but that their nationality will always be Russian, which is a good thing.
Definitely a generational thing! Wait until we get Claire home and have lots of Korean music and sounds and do attachment parenting hard core with her. He'll really think we're nuts!
