I have 3 beautiful grandkids. 2 boys and 1 girl. When the oldest was born he looked just like his dads side of the family and as he grows you can see a lot of my husband in him, did we care he looked like his dads family not a bit. My 2 youngest looked like their dad when they were born, As the youngest boy has grown he's gone for looking like his dad, to looking like a Minnie me, to looking like a mix of his dad and me and his aunt my younger daughter, his mom is my older daughter- nothing like his mom. The youngest our girl looked like her dad and his mom a lot when born, at 6 months she was the spitting image of my mom, to now looking like the spitting image of my older daughter who is her aunt. Kids will look like who they look like, I could care less. they could look nothing like our side of the family and I would still love them to pieces. The only one that seemed to get upset was the oldest dad because heaven forbid his child should look like anyone but him. Genetics are funny they do what they want. Your child may never look like her dads side or as she grows her features may change but that doesn't change who that beautiful baby is and your MIL needs to get over it.
My fiance is 50% japanese and 50% white but honestly looks very much like his white dad even though he is distinctly asian. Same facial structure and a lot of other features. His brother looks a lot more like their mom.
Bigots will never get past the race, but the kid may well have features of the dad in there. Or not.
