I think it's cheap to assume people are acting out of fear when it could just simply come down to what they like and don't like. If you and your ex behaved in a way that altered their living conditions they might have moved. That pattern occurs in many areas with high immigration. Not everyone likes the same cultural mores. I'm assuming you and your ex weren't that different and you weren't part of enough difference in the neighborhood for rightists to vote with their feet. But there are thresholds and they have nothing to do with fear.

I don't think it is cheap at all, because it is based explicitly on what they and others with similar views have told me to my (and my ex's) face. The issue of fearing for their jobs comes up time and time again. The issue of fear of crime comes up time and time again. Cultural factors rarely if ever. I'm sure there are people for whom cultural factors also play in, but personally I've yet to meet any face to face.
