Okay I'm new to this forum but I'm pretty shocked by this - people think it's okay to post something like this? "Black/brown people"? "Not so mainstream behavior"? "Living amongst the minorities"? Really?

This would be considered a relatively PC post compared to other ones in the thread (that were since deleted).

Also, if the neighbors have junk laying around their yard, that is a huge turn-off and other homes in the area must be well kept. All of these things say something to me as I strive to give my family a good place to live. If we can get past all of these things, my wife needs to like the home, as the actual home is less important to me that the previous criteria.
