(10,877 posts)I'm gay and my partner is dark-skinned AAPI - people frequently assume he's Latino. Directly across the street from me, one home is AAPI and the other is a multi-generational Black family (I only mention multi-generational because I love grandma so. very. much.)
Everyone gets along in a neighborly way.
You kind of just proved my point by making the assumption that just because they voted for Trump they were going to go ham on any minority in the neighborhood. That's not the case.
It's different everywhere, but it's economics that motivates my asshole neighbors. If there are strangers at the door, or a damaged car, or someone who looks like they could be experiencing poverty, they're posting Ring footage on NextDoor. My immediate neighbors are pretty chill, but man, there are some real ones around here I wouldn't mind seeing bounce into the sunset.
And this is a solid Blue area.
