Call the police before you clean it off, if you haven't already.

Maybe they weren't a Yank? The fact that it was spelt correctly makes me very suspicious...

Alright, remind me never to go to Florida....and yes I'd be looking Ray up. So what happened, did you call the police?

This kind of behavior happens everywhere, not just in the US but in every country. I speak from personal experience plus I have friends who've had this and worse too...

Does this mean you'll never travel away from home ever again? :)

Lets see, I lived in the UK for a few years and felt and experienced open hostility towards Americans....most of the time people never got to know who I was before they were assuming I was "another ignorant American" So I have experienced this....thankfully no one ever wrote anything on my door, but I know the "experience" I kind of find it hard to believe over here, probably because Brits are not seen in a negative manner as Americans are elsewhere.... And I do agree ignorance breeds everywhere, some places worse than others.

As far as travelling, it won't stop me and it never has, what about you?

Florida is full of immigrants so I'm surprised this happened. It's probably someone you have pissed off over something and that's the only way they can get back at you.

That's kind of what I thought as well. Its like children calling each other names....they'll pick up that you're wearing glasses or something different about you. In the long run aren't adults just big bratty kids anyway? Morons!

I don't know anyone in the apartment complex, keep myself to myself, and I'm hardly ever there anyway

What's worse is it's probably someone he knows. British people don't look foreign in the US, so they would of probably spoken to him at some point.

You certainly live up to your custom usertitle, don't you? :D Your post I responded to came across as naive, that's all.

I was referring to hostility in general between citizens/neighbors around the world. e.g. hostility between races, genders, religions, etc.
