Dare I say, I don't think they like us

Our neighbors, they're odd, with the exception of two, sometimes three.  Why do I say this?  First, let's discuss the neighbors. 

We have "NWC" (Neighborhood Watch Committee) - that's what we call her - she's this Chinese snoop across the street.  She thinks we're renters because we are too young to be in this neighborhood, according to her anyway.  So for that reason, we are beneath her and she is always watching what we are doing.  She thinks my father in law is the landlord and every time he comes over she runs out to check with him. 

While we were fixing up the house before moving in, she walked straight into our house while we were painting to see what was going on.  When we fixed up the BBQ in the back yard, she went into the vacant house next door's backyard and peered over the fence.  Whenever we have people over, she stands in her backyard in a spot she thinks that she is invisible to us and just watches.

Then, we have our next door neighbors.  We hardly ever see them and when our paths do happen to cross, they just pretend that we're not there.  They will respond to my husband when he says hello, but if I wave it's a rare day that I get a return glance or wave. When we were moving in, they questioned my father in law about us, asking questions like, 'Are we Mexicans?' and do we have loud parties because the last owners were Mexicans who had loud parties.  Then they asked what we did for a living, so my FIL told her that I stayed at home with the kids but my husband was a construction worker who carpooled and drank frequently in the front yard with his buddies. Sarcasm at its best.

They have an 11-yr old daughter that up until a week or two ago, we didn't even know she existed.  Recently, however, she has taken to playing with LL.  I don't think they like that.  Once while she was playing with LL, her dad came out and started saying something in Chinese and she responded in English saying, 'but we're playing'.  He said something and she began speaking back in Chinese and then quickly had to go.  Today, the girl came out while we were playing in the front yard, and shortly thereafter was told to go pull weeds in the back yard, while her mother worked in the front yard and chatted up her neighbor opposite us.

So who do we get on well with?  All the neighbors that aren't Chinese.  I have nothing against Chinese people, I love their food.  I just think that for whatever reason they don't like us.
