I am Pakistani and my girlfriend is Italian. I am Muslim and she is Catholic (at least we were raised that way). As you can guess things weren't that pretty. My best advice to you is show her family how much you care about your little china doll. Be very polite and respectful when you see them. Hell, even goes as far as helping the father around the house with fixer upper projects or what have you. I know my gf's mom is down with me, cause she constantly buys me gifts and supposedly talks about how great I am. But her father is still kind of iffy...I think he likes me, but still would rather see his daughter with someone of her "own kind".
Just show respect and in time, hopefully you will get respect.
