Hotwater,

I have moved because a neighborhood changed.
Airport noise increased in one place.
Crime drastically increased in another.
Traffic got worse and my commute got longer in a third place.

There are areas where change is slow and manageable,
rapid change is stressful and often makes us feel that our neighborhood no longer exists in any meaningful way.

It is one thing to have a girlfriend of Thai ancestry and who bring some of the best of Thai culture into the relationship. It is another thing to live in an all-Thai neighborhood to the point that you find yourself missing some of the culture that you grew up with.
I get what you are saying. But lashing out with the "Yellow-bellied sapsucker" comment may express your anger for the moment, but it does you more harm in the long run because when you call everyone who is different from you some kind of annoying bird, you actually have turned yourself into an annoying bird.

Don't be an annoying bird, try being a migratory bird and find a new home where you can live in peace among birds of a feather. I know you can get to a point in life where you don't want to move, but really what choice do you have?
