My wife and I recently moved to small town TX as she finishes grad school. I'm white, she's Asian. We've been here for about 6 weeks, and this weekend we received some neighborly greetings. We also got a similar message in the mailbox and on her car too. These were at least 2, if not 3 separate incidents over Saturday and Sunday, so I suspect it's a teenager on our street or something. So far there has not been any actual damage caused. We are stuck here for at least another year and I don't really know how to handle this without losing my shit. I'm not really worried at this point as much as I am incredibly angry.

Any advice for handling this situation in a rational manner? I expected to not fit in and and to get nasty looks and shit, but this is on a different level. I'm not so ignorant as to think this stuff doesn't happen, but as a white guy spending most of my life in Houston, I obviously never experienced anything personally. My wife certainly did, and I would hear her stories on occasion. I certainly believed her, but now I really feel like a dick for probably brushing them to the side to some degree.

I could just ramble endlessly, I'm so angry right now. And I realize that I have just been subjected to this once, while my wife, and I know many posters here, have to deal with worse shit than this their entire lives.

Cloak room alert!!! Us white dudes aren't the fucking victims in this country. a4ce2e020b6ee0b3ac059e8b37fbd6ce.jpg758fe0f40c192efa8d160191a6d52c60.jpg

Oh I get it. I’ve seen this movie. The wife did it because she wants to move. 

I would be inclined to do bodily harm to the person or persons who did this.   Ignorance is a scourge on this country.

disgusting. Get cams. This is totally a neighbor.

Joke’s on him if your wife is a Nip.

Does that say “Chunk lover”?  Because if it does, both Vic and I are guilty. 
My advice is opposite of everyone else’s- be glad you’re not them, and move on. 

does that first pic say “god hates chinks and nigs”?  you been having your black friends over to the house or what?

I find really fucking stupid people kind of amusing unless their stupidity extends to violence or significant property damage.  Assuming this is one or two ringmeat kids and not a bunch of grown, violent men, I think my first instinct is to ignore it.

“ringmeat” kids?  I guess I missed that term.

Small towns are shitholes.  Odds are it's an adult.  Teens are too busy jerking off or fucking chickens behind the barn.

I, too, am white with an Asian wife. I'd lose my fucking shit. What city/town? I would get cameras and file police reports. Start questioning neighbors to see if they saw anything and just gauge their overall demeanor.

And gtfo that shithole

This issue is easily solved.....

 

 

Get video cameras

I plan on getting cameras tomorrow, so recommendations for something that would be easy to put up and take down when we are fortunate enough to get the fuck out of here would be appreciated. Unfortunately, we can't leave until she finishes school. She has shut down talk of moving closer to a real city and commuting, and is afraid approaching the neighbors will just put more of a target on us, although that was my initial inclination. If something happens again, I have every intention of notifying the police, and hopefully I would have footage of the shitheads at that point as well.

Definitely get a camaro 

Chunk lover is someone who likes cookies. People in small towns hate cookies.  And in turn, hate people who love cookies, especially chocolate chunk cookies.

Put up some decent game cameras but high enough they can’t screw with them. No violence and no traps, no matter how tempting. They haven’t done anything but prove idiot ignorance and bigotry with petty vandalism.

Befriend the local auto parts store owner, car dealer and your landlord. Might want to call in a favor to your old bouncer friend. And remember, when a man sticks a gun in your face you got two choices - you can die or you can kill the motherfucker.

Don’t wait for another - possibility escalated event - to report this.

Get it reported ASAP so there is a paper trail and a record. Especially because the small town cops may not be exactly enthusiastic about your cause.

And document everything in real time.

I’m very sorry your wife and you are being subjected to this.

I assume the “rational” responses have already been suggested. Once you got the id, let us know when you want to handle it like man.

You should hide in the shadows and make sure they hear the sound of you clicking off the safety

I read this and immediately thought of the scene from Repo Man where Otto shows up to the yard after getting beat up. 

Repo Man don’t go running to the Man. 

If it was me, my first reaction would be rage. But as a father, realistic options are very limited. But it doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with it...if you are smart enough.

I think you should go to the media.  And by go to the media, I mean I think you should post naked pictures of your wife . . . if she's hot.  Other than that, seriously, call the cops.  No idea what small town you're in, but if it's big enough to have a grad school nearby, it's probably gonna be big enough to have a more diverse police force so that you're not dealing with a good ol' boy network.  That shit needs to be documented.  Also, IMHO the best way to deal with stupid shit like that is to always shine a light on it.  Don't let those fuckers do that shit in the shadows.  Make them famous if you can.  Make sure the world knows who and what they are.

Like everyone has said get cams up.....but then when you find out who it is beat there ass
Or also if a teenager like you believe just wait to catch him/her(dont care really if its a girl for what comes next) i'll assume it happens at night. Texas as all kinds of fun laws for defending your property at night. So if you know its a teenager after cams wait up one night and just bullrush the shit out of them. Tackle their ass right on pavement and hopefully break a bone.


Or could just report it if ya dont want to get physical over it but be prepared to go over local pd's head if you dont like response.

It is really up to you how much you want to punish the one doing this as it would be classified as a hate crime

I'm with everyone else cameras and what town?  This has to be east Texas.

The person that did this is gonna be bragging about it soon after too many beers.  Have some ears around town if you can.  

you can go the tough guy with a gun route. Or there are resources that will allow you ruin this person’s life with zero violence or threat of violence.  Destroying lives is so much fun.  But admittedly, it is addicting.  Watching their facial expression when they wish they could take back what they did and get control back over their life, i imagine that’s the rush that dexter feels standing over his table.

Need a door bell cam at a minimum and I would recommend getting some others to cover the entire front of your property if possible.  If you don’t have anything Ring has an easy system that could be installed in a single afternoon.

As others said, report this to the police immediately, they probably won’t do anything this time but the next time (especially if you get them on camera) they will have to do something since it’s been reported previously.

Name the town.
 

Also, why wait to notify the police? 

This whole thread is strange.

Why not name the town by name? Why are you posting here instead of calling the police? Why are you mentioning cloak room?

If you did I'm sure you would have seen the name "STEPHEN" printed in big letters on the covers. 

i agree on letting the cops know.  There’s a chance they know exactly who it is based on previous events but they don’t know about your incident yet.  Same with the neighborhood hoa or whatever group, if it exists.

The second photo with the glass has a style that seems like a woman/girl wrote some of that. The first one looks like a guy.

if the OP doesn’t want to post the town name, so what.  Like every small town doesn’t have it’s share of ignorant and racist citizens?  

 

 

Edited by Nice Guy Eddie

Don't get me wrong, it sucks that you have to deal with this.   But, like you, I kind of assume that it's kids who are acting like bullies or general purpose shitheads and trying to get a rise out of you.  I tend to think of these types as impotent fools.

Thing is, that kind of racism is so juvenile by its nature that I suppose it could be adults.  Which may be another kettle of fish.  Or perhaps this town is so notoriously racist that adults is a good assumption.

Hope you are able to find out that it is teens and that they get bored with it/caught soon and no more comes of it.

Surprised College Station wasn't the first guess.
