Legal Question in Discrimination Law in California
Can I do anything if i feel harassed by my neighbor if race and class are involved? I received letter in the mail from an anonymous neighbor clearly being discriminating. Also, that same neighbor called the police on my husband and I. I feel harassed and victimized at this point.

You have to give details for any of us to know what can be done.

Discrimination law protections apply only in employment and business, not personal relations. People have a 1st Amendment right to be as unpleasant as they like. No body said life was fair or that you had a right to friendly neighbors. IF you can show the harassment amounts to threats or violence, then you can file criminal charges with the police, or sue. Proof is your burden.
