[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a person of color, I always get envious of this thread, I don't feel like I can just take my kids and move to a random non diverse city. It is privilege no having to think about how your kids or family will fit in. Enjoy :-)[/quote]

I get what you're saying, PP, but I agree with several other posters that you might find more diversity than you think, if you look for it. I'm South Asian and moved to a suburb of a large city in the Midwest. My kids have never been the only South Asian kid in any of their classes. And I doubt they ever will be. It's far better than my childhood in an oh-so-enlightened DC suburb, where I was told by other kids that I looked like a gorilla, and constantly asked if I was related to the one other Indian kid in my grade. There is a large Black population here, too (both AA and immigrants, mostly Nigerian and Caribbean). Plenty of Chinese people also, as well as a large Jewish population.

My friends in DC seem to think I should be desperate to move back there. I'm really, really not. My $350k house here would be $2 million for the same quality of schools in the DC suburbs. [/quote]

Another south Asian here! Where are you?? Chicago suburbs?[/quote]

I’m an injun too [/quote]

Is that you Elizabeth?[/quote]

Not funny, that is a racist slur[/quote]
