we moved into our small neighbourhood 5 years ago. It is very ‘white’. Most people have lived here for more than one generation. We are not local but we are white. This year has seen a Pakistani couple and two Indians renting properties on the road. I have never met them but heard about them from a neighbor. Last week someone painted “no blacks” on a wall near where they are renting. I have no idea who it was but clearly someone local as there aren’t many passers by who don’t live here. I feel horrible to be part of a neighborhood where this would happen. AIBU to go to the new tenants home and introduce myself so they know there is someone friendly nearby? Or is that horribly condescending? I feel that I have to do something. The graffiti has since been washed off and it was not reported. I don’t even know if the new people have seen it.
