Where do you live? This was also my experience moving to Spring, TX (a suburb of Houston), which I'm now leaving because of this type of attitude, among other things.
It's not just NextDoor, many areas are on average racist and insular. One time I was strolling my baby, and there was a group of well-dressed, but wrongly colored, people (men, women, and children!) walking down the street. A woman pulled over in her shiny car to ask me if I knew these people, and I walked on and ignored her question. When I looked back, she had pulled over and was on her cellphone.
- wu_187 6y agoGod nextdoor is so bad here in Spring. Half the posts are religious and the other half are racist rants. I'm white, but I have black neighbors. So what? They are nice people. I will say that the majority of the people that are like that are the older ones. Good luck wherever you are going.
- zadkey 6y agoI won't give the exact city, but let's say in the DFW area.
- andrewljohnson 6y agoMaybe Texas is the problem and not NextDoor :)
- zadkey 6y agoI had a similarly awkward conversation. I sometimes take my mother to go see movies. I'm a fairly tall man, and my mom is a fairly short woman. Anyway, one day after seeing a movie, we had stopped in the parking lot near our cars to discuss what we did and did not like about the movie. While we are talking, a woman drives up with window rolled down and says, "Is that man bothering you?" My mom responds, "What?" The woman repeats, "Is that man bothering you?" My mom answers, "He's my son! No, he's not bothering me."
- S_A_P 6y agoI am on the opposite side of Houston from you, but its the same here- see my comment re: the 'idiot' drivers. I even have a guy in my neighborhood who has linked property tax increases to globalism and UN resolutions to reclaim land that has water under it.
