A big part of the market is this demographics. It's real. It's not nasty or racist to point this out. Because there are many of them. They like these houses and want these houses and no doubt think others are silly to pay fortunes for crappy shitshacks in Arlington or Bethesda or NW DC.

No doubt there are many successful immigrants buying in areas like Great Falls and Potomac. It is not nasty or racist to point that out. It is nasty or racist to write about it in a way that distinguishes them from "people," or implies that they wouldn't live in those communities if they had any taste.

Methinks you were too quick to judge. Most of these houses were originally built by white people anwyay. And are still lived in by white people.
