Racism And Neighbors
Hello, name's Jo.
I have this problem. Thanks to my "lovely" husband's racial comments, my neighbors think me and my husband are racist. Admittedly my husband has to label everyone according to their race. I try to argue with him, but apparently they think I'm racist too, even though I don't really notice the race and find darker skin more beautiful then my ultra pale.
How should I talk with the neighbors now? I plan on going about my way of saying hi to everyone and always willing to talk. But I wonder if that's more hurting me than helping.

Could you ask your husband to apologise for his remarks?
The neighbours may well be a little wary of you, but maybe if you make a big effort to be friendly, hopefully you'll be able to strike up conversation and then you could maybe mention that you feel super-awkward about your husband's comments, and hope that they don't think that you share the same views?

It might be worth, as above, going and having a chat with them and clearing the air.

It doesn't matter where you come from; it matters where you go.
No-one gets remembered for the things they didn't do. We won't all be here this time next year,
so while you can take a picture of us. We're definitely going to hell,
but we'll have all the best stories to tell.

What's mentioned above and since it's christmas, perhaps pop by to give them a christmas card and a box of chocolate so you have an excuse to talk...
