The family told the commission that since they moved to Yorba Linda in May 2011 the tires of their cars were slashed, rocks were thrown at their windows, racial epithets were hurled at them and classmates told their 6-year-old son that they couldn't play with a black child.

Although African-Americans make up a scant two per cent of the population of Orange County, they're the target of 30 per cent of the hate crimes in the county, according to the OC Human Relations Commission.
Ticking off horrible stats is one thing, but hearing the ugly stories are another. Here's a description of the racism the family faced, according to a letter from the commission (obtained by the OC Weekly):
Shortly after arriving in May 2011 they were awakened in the middle of the night as rocks shattered the windows of their house.
Then they found that the 8 tires on their two cars had all been slashed.
Their 6 year old son related a story of classmates at Travis Ranch school who said he couldn't play with them because he was Black, and one kid told the others that they could not talk to him because he was Black.
Their young adult son shared that as he rode on his bicycle to work at the Home Depot he had repeatedly been yelled at by passing cars that called him N----r.
I'm sure our usual Stormfront wannabes will find ways to relativize or even justify this...
So what? This happens every day to every race in America.I don't see the stories being blasted all over the media about it. Fight back let them know you won't leave. Don't break so easily.
They're probably having problems with one family of jerks in the neighborhood. As far as their six year old being told by white six year olds that they can't hang with him, that's a crock o' ****e!

You mean that other uppity Negro, the one who wants to collude with the UN to take away our guns?
Please tell me this was sarcasm.
