Racist Graffiti Reported In Oakdale

A family that moved to Oakdale from the Saint Paul area two months ago reported that it was the victim of racist vandlism. On Sunday, TL Xiong uploaded photos of his family's garage and vehicle that were tagged with racist messages.

Xiong said on Facebook that his family is of Hmong origin.

"I'll catch you.. my neighbors or the community will," he said. "My parents and siblings are the most kindest hearted people anyone who knows us can vouch for that, Minnesota has the existing racism that lives hundreds of years ago.. I guess you guys got lucky getting away.. but keep in mind that karma will get you.. we just moved in two months ago haven't done anything wrong to anyone this is where 2017 starts."

Xiong continued on in another post, asking the Oakdale community to keep an eye out for the perpetrators. "I am sure WE all wouldn't want any of our property gone missing, broken into, or vandalized."
