I've had a year of harassment from a racist neighbour who thought is was acceptable to urinate and spit on my laundry on the washing line.

So YES after this experience I do not feel as safe and hope to move to an neighbourhood where there are more ethnic minorities. Not saying that I don't feel safe around white people.
We all have the right to feel safe & secure in our homes.
" there is police brutality to all skin colours and sexes but you only hear about the black people"
Erm ... that's because there is disproportionate police brutality towards black people
"I am too scared to talk to anyone in case I offend them"
Well YES those of us who have experienced racism are going to be offended if you keep downplaying racism. Why do you have an issue with seeing more ethnic minorities on TV?

Dahlia, this is painful to read, i can understand people, but do you have any support in your area to help you deal with your neighbour, or do you feel you can not approach other people?

I think there is very little understanding of what people go through in their daily lives, what we know and understand is fed to us through the media, and this is a very mixed, confusing picture, that only serves to divide. I sit here typing this shaking my head wondering why people are made to feel unsafe and afraid within their own homes and community.
