Well, he could have a sister who's married to a non-Korean, so it was a bit ambiguous.

No, not by the definition of what an in-law is:

Quote:
A parent-in-law is a person who has a legal affinity with another by being the parent of the other's spouse.

Sorry, I was just referring to the brother-in-law part. Yes, you're right about the father-in-law (didn't even really notice it the first time).

Sorry Julius...should have been clearer for you...

I was refering to my KOREAN in-laws along with my KOREAN wifes' brother and my KOREAN father-in-laws' friends.

I can see why that would confuse you however....
