‘Someone REALLY sent this to my grandpa…… my man is just trynna decorate his house and……. I f*****g hate people,’ she wrote, and the tweet quickly went viral.
Heartbreaking: A grandfather’s cheerful lawn decorations were called ‘low class’ and an ’embarrassment’ in a racist letter written by an anonymous neighbor
Outrage: Twitter user @goIdenstef shared a photo of the vitriolic letter that was sent to her grandfather and signed ‘the decent, middle-class people with Class’
The letter, which was written on a typewriter, included insults and racial slurs as well as a number of grammatical errors.
‘My wife and I exercise every so oftenby [sic] walking around the neighborhood, but each time we walk in front of your house we’ve noticed that you have put up yet another new decoration or ornament in front of your house,’ the cowardly neighbor wrote.
‘Oh my God – Enough already. All the people that we know in our neighborhood have commented on the EXCESSIVE decorations in front of your house – and am sorry to say, your house has become, and is, the laughing joke of the neighborhood.
‘Some of our friends have even purposefully driven in front of your house just to see how RIDICULOUS all of those decorations look like – and needless to say, they all laugh. All those decorations are in “bad taste” and only goes to prove to everyone that a “low class Mexican family” lives there, or some Gypsy family [sic].’
Disgusted: Many commenters were stunned that someone would write such an unnecessarily harsh and openly racist letter over a neighbor’s lawn decorations
The person went onto insult everything from the grandfather’s potted plants to the number of American flags that were on his lawn.
‘If the decorations were not bad enough, you all then started planting “pot plants” in the middle of the lawn. Oh my God, where do you people come from?’ the neighbor cruelly asked. ‘It makes me absolutely no sense to have “plants” in the middle of the lawn.
‘Also, do you realize that you have four or five American flags displayed in your front. Hello? Do you think that’s going to make people think you’re patriotic? Believe me, they will think like we do – at how Ridiculous that looks [sic].’
The person insisted that the homeowner must have moved to the neighborhood from some other part of town, without knowing anything about him.
‘Apparently you people must have come here to our neighborhood from the deep West side or the deep South side where all the poor people with no class live,’ the neighbor wrote. ‘Believe me when I tell you that your house is an EMBARRASSMENT to the neighborhood.
Proof: The Twitter user later shared photos of her grandfather’s home
Too cute: The man’s yard is decorated with plants and American flags
‘THAT’S IT?’ People were even angrier to learn there is nothing at all ‘excessive’ about his decorations
‘Do us a favor – start looking at the other houses around here and then take a look at your house – and then come to realize how ridiculous and embarrassing your excessive house decorations look to the rest of us.’
‘Sincerely, the decent, middle-class people with Class of Thunderbird Hills sub-division.’
Many commenters were stunned that someone would write such an unnecessarily harsh and openly racist letter over a neighbor’s lawn decorations.
‘The typewriter is to add ~aestheticism~ to the racism vomiting out of this letter,’ one person commented, while another added: ‘The way this reeks of racism.’
‘I KNOW LIKE [crying emoji],’ @goIdenstef replied. ‘I feel so bad bc my grandpa loves decorating his house.’
