>I'm the last person to be beating the SJW drum, but how do I get my old school grandpa who is very anti-asian (and perhaps rightfully so, Vietnam was fucked) to atleast be able to attend my wedding
>my soon to be wife is chinese but adopted by rich white parents, so she doesn't speak engrish and there isn't a whole asian family to deal with
I'm not trying to change him, just get him to come and be tolerant for the day, he probably doesn't have very many years left and I want him there.Were just just about to send out invitations for our late fall wedding,so I need to bring it up soon, just looking for some objective advice from an outsider.

Was your grandpa sent to Vietnam ?
If he was, don't push him, he has valid reasons to not go, it's going to be full of Asian people and that can trigger a "nam flashback"

global rule 3, its time to go back

you could probably tell him it would mean a lot for him to be there and have a heart to heart with him.
but if your grandpa was in Vietnam in any capacity the shit just might be too much for him. Some people just don't cope well after conflicts like that.

ease him into it maybe
start with chinese cartoons
then chinese food
then he meets your wife
if he has PTSD it's a lost cause
