A South Seattle man called police earlier this week to complain about ongoing, racially-based harassment in his neighborhood.

According to a police report, the man, who lives in the 5200 block of S Dawson Street called police on Tuesday to report that someone had left a note on his car stating “you black nigger move.”

Earlier this month, the report says, the man also called police after someone covered one of his vehicles in yogurt and wrote “Fuck you bitch” on the car. It’s unclear whether the words were written in yogurt.

The man also says he has received numerous “annoying phone calls from a restricted number” and had to change his phone number to get the calls to stop.

Police are investigating the latest incident as a hate crime.

According to SPD spokeswoman Renee Witt, the department has seen “no significant increase in hate crimes reported in Seattle” in the last year.

  1. Yogurt.

    So this “hate crime” was perpetrated by someone who cares about nutrition. Possibly even a vegan?

    God, Seattle amuses me.

  2. Yogurt? That seems like a relatively expensive “prank” when shaving cream and toilet paper and cellophane are available. Weird.

  3. @4 My apologies to the vegan community.

    Here I confess that I have no fucking clue what yogurt IS, what it’s made of, or where it comes from.

    It remains, however, a curiously funny choice of weapon, as #3 pointed out.

  4. @6 Okay, am I total dweeb? I have no idea what HFA means …

    and @5, I was both telling the truth and trying to be funny at the same time … you know, the Seattlite trying to correct your improper use of the term vegan. So … no worries on my part, but then again I eat meat. It makes me strong.

  5. Yogurt destroys your paint job with its acidic cultures. This kind of bullshit sickens me. I can’t wait until nano-cameras are dusted everywhere and we can stop this kind of fuckbaggery before it gets out of hand.
