Whenever someone starts their rant with some sort variation of a disclaimer stating how they aren't racist, it's pretty much a sure bet that the they're precisely that.

It's not about race, yet you made it clear that you are talking about Latinos.

Car seats? Chemicals in the drain? You are a preachy white bitch.

It isn't about race because guess what? Latinos are the same "race" as Caucasians. It is about ethnocentrism and xenophobia though.

What they're having an issue with is cultural and class differences.

Dear white dude, I hate you, and this isn't about your race or anything, but could you be any more of a typical white dude?

I cago en la leche.

Definitely could've called out the ridiculous behavior without any reference to the non-white status.

Secondly, if someone is doing donuts while under the influence outside my house, I'm gonna call the fucking cops, not the INS. And I'm certainly not gonna move unless the police refuse to pursue criminal charges for ongoing illegal behavior.

Now go back to tending to your chickens and pesticide-free chard.

Uh-oh, you seem to have uncovered a tiny little patch of Portland that doesn't match what you saw in the brochure! How'd that happen?

Race and culture has a lot to do with a lot of things and behaviors. So does money too.

I wonder if I couldn't tell who was who, I'm still sure I'd think humans were strange. And that's what makes it so normal is that there is nothing weird to me anymore about people.

We are all fucked in our own very way, with our own unique problems, and behaviors.

Why do the hippiebillies in Portland have a blind spot to their white trashiness? Just asking. Not about race. Although, statistically speaking white trash is the trashiest around. For one thing, they are the biggest group of smokers in the country and their music is horrible.

I hired a professional to dress my yard in a "SE Portland" theme: rotting old windows, a rusty bed frame, half a dozen squawking chickens and a leaky old RV that broke down on the way to Phish at the Gorge (hello Airbnb!).

Every week I go shopping at Goodwill for stuff to restock my artisan-curated "free box" which so far has been a big hit with the neighborhood.

How awesome would it be if the author was born blind somewhere in Mexico and emmigrated to the US as a child?

He'd be the Mexican version of Clayton Bigsby from the Chappelle Show.

Eatin' up all the white man's burritos and breathing all the white man's air!!!! Did I mention they stink?!?!?!?!?!?

Lol gateway area. But wait...what if they were blasting the ramones? Woulda ya do the same? If so then you are the chump who has a bridge to attend to...

Legit complaint. Shitty neighbors are shitty neighbors regardless of race, ethnicity, culture, skin color, religion, sexual orientation, etc.

Just because somebody came from a third world barrio doesn't mean they have to try to recreate it in the supposedly nicer place they went through a lot of trouble to get to.

That being said there is a certain amount of live and let live that is acceptable. Brodies at two in the morning is a deal breaker. About six months ago the house two houses down from mine got foreclosed on. It was a hotbed of wigger wankster activity with some little baby g's thrown in for authenticity.

I am so glad to be rid of the spontaneous 4 am weekday parties and near fights, girlfriend arguments, shady folks milling in the street on my dead end in the middle of the night and actual altercations that plagued that place. One time I actually put a hammer in my pocket while I was unloading my groceries because I got back from the store and what looked like a 3 on 3 brawl was about to start up. Fuck that shit.

Move to KATU, you will find that neighborhood muy comfy.

The INS hasn't existed for over a decade, Señor Ding Dong.

I suggest you contact the Office of Strategic Services, or perhaps the War Department.
19
Adios, perra!!!

You're moving? Sounds like you'd fit in really well in the South, Southerners tend to think they're not racist/xenophobic either, usually while being abjectly bigoted about race and culture.
21
Yeah unexceptable behavior etc etc.....
That sucks, sometimes you can come to a compromise and sometimes not.

You really should have started this post like this:
Dearest (nothing here) neighbor, and left out the stereotype bit and also the references to the culture. IE Just loud music instead of "ranchero" music.

That way people would just be commenting on whether they agree with those neighbors being out of hand or not.
22
The Ins no longer really exists. But feel free to call some other authority because Mexican=illegal, riiiiigggghhht? Imbecile. A racist one at that, Probably why your dumb ass was never invited

Please wait...
