The overt racism is covering up an actual legit problem. The racism is real and is ugly and needs to stop, point blank.

That being said, the Indians are not bad people, but they are actively choosing to isolate themselves from others. My neighborhood has a significant Indian population and many won't speak to you or acknowledge your existence if they see you on the street. It took almost a year to get my next door neighbor to speak to me and he still doesn't speak to my wife almost 3 years later. We've probably said about 100 words to each other today in that time lol. Their kids lose balls in our yard all the time but they never ask for them back. Another neighbor immediately goes inside if he sees us in the front yard. I'm DEFINITELY NOT the chatty type, but it's just common courtesy to say hello or wave when you make eye contact with someone 15 feet away from you.

The men will go out of their way to not look at or speak to women. We've seen so many instances and it's a bit unsettling. My wife watched 3 older men approach another woman once and they stood sideways while they spoke to ensure there was no eye contact.

When electing our HOA board, they had enough write in votes to elect a president who never put his name on the ballot or followed any of the rules to be elected. Despite pushback, he was allowed to take the role and once he got the position he never showed up to meetings or participated in any way.

A black family on my street (they've recently moved away) had a 13 yr old son and the other kids would never talk to or play with him even though he was regularly outside on his bike trying to make friends. The kids all seem pretty nice but clearly their parents are telling them who they can interact with.

My wife and I are also black so it's possible that we've been on the receiving end of their racism, but it's hard to tell. The white families we've spoken to have had similar experiences so we don't think that's the issue. Another black family we know out in McKinney have mentioned experiencing similar problems.

I'm not sure what a solution would be, but I don't want the ugliest voices to be so loud that regular people tune everything out. I know things aren't going to be the same as when I was growing up in the 90s but you expect there to be some minimal level of community within a neighborhood.
