ethnic neighbor

A person who constantly intrudes on another's privacy and requests to borrow personal items with little chance of returning said item.

Originating from the stereotype of 1980s and 1990s sitcoms where a neighbor of another ethnicity would behave in such a manner.
"Brad was a real ethnic neighbor this morning. He came into my room and asked to borrow my contact solution and a belt. I'll probably never see them again. Asshole."

ethnic neighborhood

An area with a much higher concentration of a particular ethnic or cultural group that doesnt dominate in the general population.

It could be as small as one side of a single block where all the residents are of Tibetan descent and the businesses are thusly themed...
or it could be as large as a 2 square mile area dominated by Spanish or Cantonese speaking population.

Also known as an enclave.
Visiting an ethnic neighborhood can be like entering an entirely different world. Save's a lot on travel expenses natch!
