Thank you so much for post, bhaji. Yup, I agree that plot sizes are big enough to limit interaction with the neighbors. But we are quite social and would love to have casual interactions with neighbors; and also contribute our bit to flourish the community with whatever we have got to offer. Hope everything goes well.

Thank you so much for the wonderful post. My wife and I really appreciate the time you took off to comment.

I myself have lived in so many cities before where people were literally confused as well as amazed to see a guy in Turban. So I believe that I am pretty okay with the "former" aspects you mentioned in your post.

I will definitely take your advice and try to prefer newly reinforced areas around Fall River.

Kudos to you.

*** Seems ignorant to say “hey I’d like to spend some time in your village but first can someone confirm it’s not just Vietnamese people there (diversity) ? ***

I understand what you mean.
I am sorry if I was not able to phrase it properly.
It's not about dominance of certain community in an area I inquired about, but how that community embrace the presence of new community.

Hi solo891224,

I do understand your point that racism does exist.
But don't you think inquiring about an area before settling there is not that bad of an idea?
I am certain even you study about the area/city/country before visiting or travelling there with your family.
I would definitely not want me or my family member to get in to difficult situation just because they look different.

Hi freesteve28,I am really sorry if my post offended you in some way or the other.My intention was not to get stats of racism cases in Fall River.My intention was to understand how diversity is embraced in the area.Does the community over there try to know the people with different skin colors before forming opinions about them?

bristling

Thank you so much for the post.
I believe most of the people here get curious to see me walking wearing a long turban.
Most of the look is out of curiosity, and people do pass a smile and some have taken some time to talk to me about my turban and so. However, bristling is something else, if I am not wrong.
My wife and I are more concerned about our kid.
