Thanks for your thoughtful responses.
I do indeed hate the problem no matter the source of the problem. If any person (be he white, black, hispanic, asian, etc.) moved in and trashed the neighborhood I would dislike it as strongly. My dilemma, and possibly some small feelings of guilt, comes from the fact that it is overwhelmingly one race that is moving in and acting in this manner. The separation comes from the fact that it is not all Hispanics that act in this manner. It is not a racial thing, it is a cultural thing. The people who are trashing the neighborhood are only doing it because that is the way they were raised. They grew up in impoverished areas where it was the norm to not respect their own or other people's property. They are fine upstanding people in every other way as far as I can tell.
So it is a group of people who are acting in this manner that I dislike. It is specific to this group of people only in this specific time and place.
Dear Here: Is it the separation from this group that makes you feel bad?
Is there a way to include you and Hispanic community or church leaders equally in a civic group that can address this issue without feeling divided but working together?
Can you ask help from a pastor or youth group to address this in a positive way?
Again if you approach with forgiveness for cultural differences in upbringing then you focus on these factors as reasons, without assigning judgment. If you dont forgive the problems first, then it comes across as blaming a group instead of evaluating the causes which still remain the same. Nobody wants to feel bad for problems that can be solved. Is there a way to ask to work together to fix up the neighborhood for the kids as a positive goal?
