Racist attack in Quincy (Boston, Malden: low income, 2014, apartments)

Apart from this being racist...

In my experience, many Asians in urban areas like Dorchester, Quincy, and Malden simply pave over their postage stamp-size yards. There is nothing to maintain.

I've noticed Asians tend to put out what I thought were lion statues on their lawn but I guess those are actually dogs:

^none of this seems like any logical reason to be mad at anyone.

My guess is he feels his remaining in Quincy is some noble last stand against an asian takeover. Who knows.

If he is a lifelong resident of Quincy or the nearby area, he knows that. You'd think he'd have at least adjusted somewhat or fully to their Quincy presence after the past few decades. Didn't the Chinese influx to Quincy start in the mid 80s, perhaps?

I have lived here 18 plus years, but am not certain, just that I had heard that estimate of their arrival when chatting with a lifetime local in her 30s about ten years ago.

Does he insist on white dentists -- maybe even Irish? -- doctors, cashiers, police, paramedics etc. when in need? Who knows, maybe he'll be sent to an Asian psychologist after this. Oh, the irony.

Due to such startling bravado, this may not be the first time he's done something like this. Just hasn't been caught, perhaps? And he may have escaped this time if not for the nearby construction worker who jumped in a car and followed him.

If the law doesn't get him, Father Time certainly will....and I hope soon. Quincy will be much better for it.

I'm guessing he's losing his mind.

Really? No trashy houses own by white people, or any other folks?

I have family and roots in quincy. Say whatever you want about Asians coming in but you have to admit that if they didn't come in the city would have a huge loss. I can name places that have had zero if not negative population growth. Holyoke was once 60,000 people and then to 40,000 and is now maybe 35,000. Yeah I get it things change but it doesn't mean people are bad. Ethnic neighborhoods can change with time.

Have you seen some homes of folks of Italian descent???? LOL How about houses own by white people who have a flock of plastic pink flamingos in the front yard? Or a house with a junk car/truck as front yard decoration?

Go to Hyde Park. There's no asian people and the majority of the homes are a mess.

This isn't rocket science though. If you're living in a neighborhood like Hyde Park or Quincy perhaps you don't have the extra money to make your house look nice? If there's literally trash around it then that's just laziness but housing repairs and making a house look nice cost MONEY. Most people are already paying a good amount of money to live in these places, probably have kids and other bills so yeah a house looking nice is last on the list. If you want people who have beautiful looking up kept homes I would say go to a more affluent area.

Calm down. I wasn't saying no one else puts up strange things outside their homes.

But honestly no, what do Italians do to their homes these days?

Can't tell you the last time I saw flamingos outside a house.
