[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a POC in the neighborhood and I knew it was BS when the middle eastern husband said he was confused for a lawn worker. People in this neighborhood are racist but they’re a very specific type of racist. [/quote]

Really? Bc my non-white husband and I live a neighborhood over and he is frequently pissed by people assuming he is a service worker - both neighbors and other workers/strangers  coming to the house. [/quote]

That has to be BS, if workers who don’t live in Arlington think he’s a service worker, does he run around in overalls with a toolbox?

So your neighbors came over to greet the new residents and said “is the owner home” to your DH? Because neighbors don’t come to the house except when invited 99% of the time, at which point they know you.

Arlington progressives maybe racist, most people are, but they are even more afraid of being accused of being a racist and this is an obvious instance to not assume anything. Unless, of course, overalls, that would be a legit confusing scene. [/quote]

I’m the PP. he works from home and basically wears home clothes all the time, so yes, when he is outside and delivery people come, service people come, they automatically assume he is also doing some type of work for me. And clearly you don’t live in Arlington. Our neighbors are nosy as hell and came over all the time when we were fixing up the house. But by “neighbors” I meant more generally people who live in our area/civic association but not immediately next door.

That said, whether the couple ever intended to live there or not, who knows. But the neighbors clearly behaved badly and I find it funny that they will never know with certainty whether they might have had a single family home in the ‘hood if only they had used manners.[/quote]
Not PP. I mean I don’t feel bad for the neighbors because many of them were fine living next to a segregationist so long as it was a SFH. You’re entitled to your opinion but I don’t think that any of that happened to them. The wife drove to an empty house built before lead was banned that was being torn down with an infant and then decided “gee, let me take the baby on a walk in the neighborhood” and just immediately was microagressed? The husband, who unlike your husband isn’t working from home, decides to come hang out in the yard and while there the neighbor decides to walk the quarter of a mile to the top of the hill where the house is, despite the bottom of the property being blocked off with signs saying private property the whole time, just to insult him? I live nearby and walk my dog by there almost every day because it’s on the way to the trails and did not see anyone other than construction workers in hard hats the entire time. They probably saw what they thought was an opportunity to make money but maybe they were still planning on living in Arlington in a different neighborhood so wanted to have some fake excuse when really none was needed. Just look at the numbers there are no other families in the neighborhood that built a new SFH that paid that much for the site. [/quote]
