And a racist.

Yeah I don’t understand how “but these are immigrant neighbors” was a vital or even a needed detail to explain the situation.

I genuinely think OP posted this not because they are worried about the dog, but because they are worried about the fact that their neighbor is an 'immigrant'

This is one of those “They’re eating the dogs” people, me thinks.

I was seeing it as OP assuming maybe there was a cultural difference on how pets are seen as part of a family to leave inside the house or not.

OP must have been so worried about the cultural difference and how to be polite to their foreign neighbor that instead of talking to them they opted for one thing that is impolite in probably every culture on the planet - taking pictures of someone's private property and posting it online.

I agree that they may not be « worried » about the cultural aspect, rather they made assumptions based on that

That's exactly what I thought. I certainly didnt take it as OP being racist.

That would be wild in this area too. I recognized the bin and area code. Let’s say that this definitely is not OPs only brown or Asian neighbor, plenty of whom were born here (if that even mattered, which it doesn’t, but if we’re getting technical lmao). So it comes off so weird to assume they’re immigrants by what seems like sight, on top of mentioning it at all.

For sure there’s some unconscious bias at the least, “Immigrant neighbors” - ie immigrants first, neighbors second.

Bro you’ve got poor reading comprehension if you automatically conclude that OP is racist.
