"Now how many of those new neighbors speak to the people in the community? Won’t even make eye contact with you…"

You realize that white suburbanites make the exact same comment when minorities or low income folks move in to their neighborhoods? It's bullshit then, it's bullshit now. This is America, we share this place together.

No they don’t. Instead they repeatedly call the cops on any perceived offense and refuse to speak directly to their neighbors, similar to how some of these “gentrifiers” treat their neighbors of color that may have been in the neighborhood for decades. That’s not everyone, but it’s a significant number. And that’s what OP was complaining about. He never said they weren’t welcome.

But we all know how a lot of redditors get hard at wanting to paint minorities as “the real racists.”

I'm not painting minorities as the real racists. Most minorities are chill just like most everyone else. I'm saying you're the real racist.

Anyways, you think anybody moving into the neighborhood, white or non-white, would want to interact with busybodies like you, measuring whether they looked at you the right way or if they acknowledged you appropriately enough. Fuck that.
