[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The deleted comments are proof that racists are alive and well in Arlington - not surprising that this couple had a bad experience.

Curious what you saw, but a Pakistani-American is hardly novel in N Arlington. If anyone had a stereotype, they would assume he was a doctor!

I guess the wife is PR, which have different stereotypes but I really am skeptical they received any racist baiting.

Now a notice of demolition, and cagey answers as to what they are building in its place — that will surely get neighbors riled up and unfriendly.

The owner is subdividing at least, and wants to deflect the anger by claiming racism. [/quote]

Similarly, racist comments are hardly novel in N Arlington.

I'm not surprised at all that this couple received negative comments - before the demo was posted.

Interesting. Do you live in Donaldson Run? Because I did and I know quite a few mixed marriage couples that live there and are quite happy. I also think that MMH is very unpopular in N Arlington so I have no doubt that people were asking questions and are pleased with their neighborhood being testing ground for two lots of MMH. But hey it’s a winning strategy pull the race card to shut everybody up.[/quote]

"I have friends who live in Donaldson Run and are happy. This shows that nobody ever says anything racist to anybody there."[/quote]

The fact that they feel welcome is more proof than you have that it’s racist so… please feel free to provide proof that racist incidents are happening in North Arlington.[/quote]

DP.

1. Read the article. 
2. Neighbors in a nearby neighborhood have assumed I’m the nanny. [/quote]
