Maybe it would be best then not to spend every single day for two weeks with your nagging mother?

Great! It's a temporary situation. Even easier to deal with! You leave.... problem solved.

I know, but the issue will come into play at some point, so I would like to know how to deal with it (in light of a broader picture, aside from this current "temporary" situation) because I'm inevitably going to introduce someone to them sooner or later.

Parents trying to dictate your love life... ok......

Don't listen to idiot racists, block it out and just do what you want to do. Problem solved. I see nothing to worry about.

Are you from India?

I would use reverse psychology. Say: "Mom, since you clearly have my best interests i mind, and are wisely skeptical of my own choices, why don't you get busy finding me a husband?" My supposition is that after a few weeks of enthusiastically diving into the problem, she'll make no headway, and will apologetically back off.

Idk, I've dated people for years that I never introduced to my parents (not that my parents care about anything), just worked out that way.

No reason to tell her anything.

What she doesn't know wont hurt her.

One of my friends had this problem with her parents. She ended up marrying a white guy (not sure if they had a wedding, have to ask her) and parents hated him and were depressed for years. Thought it was the end of the world, bad things would happen to her and prayed for her constantly. They didn't start warming up to him and accepting their marriage for years.
