"I'm all for inclusion but fireworks at 1am at night once a year is a huge inconvenience for me. Suggestions welcome."

Lmao

There are more fireworks on July 4 all over the place coming out of every corner of town. That didn't bother you, right? This is what we call subconscious racism and bias. Buy a hate has no home here sign and stick it outside your door immediately.

Oh shut up. Fireworks at 1-1:30am on any holiday is obnoxious and inconsiderate, especially in a condo where everyone is on top of each other. Stop throwing racism around, ridiculous.

Actually NO. Thankfully, people are not setting off fireworks during 4th of July in the middle of the night especially on condo patios outside my bedroom window! I'm not sure where you live, but thankfully that's not my reality. The 4th of July fireworks are hosted by the city and end by 10:00 p.m. You're welcome!

As a person of color, I find your comment to be highly offensive and seriously irrelevant. Racism has nothing to do with respectful behavior and coexistence in communal living situations. Injecting racism into things that have nothing to do with racism does more harm than good to people of color.

Persons of color can be absolutely racist too.

Asians (esp Chinese and Indians) in general are extremely discriminated against by other POCs - so no, you don't get a pass for being a racist because you have another skin color.

I don't know who needs to hear this, probably you, but there is no Olympics in racism.

So can we start setting off fireworks outside your window at 1am?
