My MIL likes to refer to our older (adopted from Taiwan) son as "el chinito" (she is Colombian) and talk about his tiny eyes and how his hair resembles bamboo sticks. Ugh, sorry.

They have sent one gift: a teddy bear at Christmas. Nothing for her birthday, baptism, or second Christmas. Their other son's (bio) children are flooded with gifts and get frequent visits, yet my MIL says to me every time she speaks to me on the phone, "We love M just as much as we love K and C..." Next time she says it, I'm going to call her on it. I should say, though, that my family is completely crazy about our daughter and can't get enough time with her. So there are compensations, and plenty of love to go around. My (white) ILs have never been to see us since we adopted our daughter over a year ago.

My. This is definitely an uphill battle. I really feel for you and your family. Amber, you will always be number 1 in the in-law category. Hope you're doing okay. Oh. My.
