my parents don't like my wife they say because she has a bad attitude but that isn't the case, because if she did i would'nt let disrespect them or me at that. but the real reason i believe is because she's latino, and white. and my parents don't like latinos and white folks. they are kinda racist. but i love her and we've had 4 beautiful years of marriage and we had 3 kids from it. but i've heard my own mother say she wish those ''little mixed bastards'' were'nt her grandchildren. i was truly hurt by this but i've never told my wife, kids, or even my mother that i heard her say this.
i wish they didn't hate her. What should I do??

The comments and attitude will never stop unless you take a stand for your wife and kids. You need to tell them that they can feel whatever they want but treating them like second class citizens and making comments like that will not be tolerated. If they want to see you, they have to take your family as a package deal.

Speak openly and honestly with your parents telling them that you realize they have a problem with your wife because of her race but the two of you are married and their opinions will not change that fact. It is time for them to face reality and let go of their prejudiced ideas, but if they can't (or won't) then you might have to put some space between them and your new family. Your wife and children must always take first place and it is time for you to set the record straight and get on with your life - with or without your parents' blessings.

Okay, i know you love your parents, but you should love your family more. Your wife is a gift from God and your wife should be one of the greatest things in your life..... so, tell your parents this. Tell them that if they are racist, then you are sorry, but your wife and children are precious jewels and don't deserve to get slandered like that. If your parents are still terrible, then pray and try to show them how you feel everytime you see their faces.
