3. Plus, you are causing confusion by not behaving as they expect you to behave.

I live in a suburb of Chicago that was all white as recently as the 1970s. In the past ten years or so, many Muslim families have moved here as well as non-white families. The suburb is now about 15% non-white/non-Christian. Some of the neighbors have talked about this as a problem, and it is likely that more hold similar views.

But as people actually meet and interact with their neighbors, one can hope that the perception of a problem will fade. And the area did support Clinton in 2016.
