My mother in law is from Indonesia. Before I married her daughter she was furious because I eat pork and they don't (religion).
We married anyway - now my wife just loves bacon.
When her second daughter also didn't marry an indonesian she threw quite a tantrum, because again he was a pork-eater.
After her third daughter married a pork-eater she just resigned to muttering about how nice it would be if we all converted and wouldn't be so different anymore.
Mom's don't like it when children don't share their point of view. It wasn't really about eating habits or religion. It was about culture which she didn't like.
You are not marrying or dating your mom (I hope) so just forget about what mom says since she won't like most girls you bring home.
Go find someone YOU like and fight for her if you have to!
