Charlene, not sure why your ethnicity got into this.But I got a property today that had more equity than it should have.

I'd say, if you are motivated, eager and smart, you should be welcome regardless of your social background, ethnicity, or level of education.

And I think this holds for modest priced neighborhoods (lots of multigenerational ethnic families) as well as higher end neighborhoods (where will they put the au pair?)

I'm using Suburban Jungle - you should check them out, their goal is to get you to find the town you love FIRST, then look for the house.Side note: A lot of upstate towns are beautiful, but I don't consider them particularly "diverse" - this may not be politically correct, but not all POCs are the same and shouldn't always be bucketed together - not sure your ethnicity so it depends on if you're looking for more of 'your' ethnic group or just any other POCs in general... 

West Orange is rather diverse in economics and ethnicities, a large town in square mileage.

Screen your tenants initially, you can’t discriminate to a tenant due to race, creed or ethnicity, but there’s plenty of different ways you can ween out the weak. 

I attended high school in postwar Vietnam but the school, for ethnic Chinese, was not officially recognized by the Vietnamese government.I am fluent in Chinese (the two major dialects, Cantonese and Mandarin) and Vietnamese.

The part that was upsetting to me was that she asked me to treat her like my family, since she is the same ethnicity as me and is elderly.

Certainly, we can all agree that every segment of society has a few bad actors.However, in your post, you set out haranguing other landlords (that posted above, as you state) for some perceived wide-ranging ill that there does not appear to be any evidence for, at least on this thread.To baselessly condemn the entire profession without that merit, to me, does indeed reinforce a false narrative.If I were to muse publicly, as you did, that since a few individuals belonging to an industry (or ethnicity) did wrong, paint them all with a broad unilateral brush and declare “and people wonder why (that group) have a bad name”, I’ll bet you’d use a harsher term than “false narrative” to describe that sentiment.Landlords have a very unfair negative public image because of a very small percentage of individuals in the industry, and you are not helping.
