I (31f) am dreading my husband’s (32m) family because I’m taking my east Asian friend’s (25f) name after marriage.

I’m changing my surname to my friend’s for personal reasons. We would spend 24/7 together, stayed at each other’s houses. My parents were more okay with the idea because my friend and I would talk to them everyday and stayed with them during covid. My family is not east Asian and I’m really scared to tell my husband’s family after the wedding and they will see it on social media, because my husband’s family is not fond of my friend. They’re nice to her but they’ve made comments about her being from China and stuff and how I’m always at her place and how she gets me to do whatever stuff she wants and how my parents like her more than they like my husband. <br>My husband and I are international students in the US. Our families live in our home country. I don’t know when and how my husband’s family are going to find out and I would rather not deal with the drama. We’ve decided to take my friend’s last name and we both feel good about it. And our parents are also fine with it. It’s mostly my husband’s family who is going to be upset about it because of my friend’s country of origin.
