Thanks so much for writing this! I am also living in Switzerland (Bern) and married to a white Swiss - a friend of his refused to attend our wedding b/c he did not want to spend three days with loud and obnoxius Indians. For the most part though I have not faced such blatant racism from his friends or my friends, but here in Switzerland more subtle aspects - I must have married him to get papers (I was a post-doc at the uni on a highly qualified workers permit) or that I was lucky to get out of India by marrying him..

Nevertheless my situation has been easier than yours and I hope it is better for your children.
