[quote=Anonymous]10:39 here - 10:43, that's how I meant it.  It must be really weird to find yourself, daily, in situations where you are the "only."  The only black, the only white, the only woman, etc.  I've been the only female non-admin in a few work environments, and that was weird enough.  When my daughter and I were at that park, I wondered if the other people were thinking, "What are THEY doing here?  Are they lost?"

Arlington is difficult because there are schools that are 80+ % white and schools that are 70+% hispanic and not a lot of schools where there is a more even mix - say 30% white, 30% hispanic, 30% asian, 10% black.  (there aren't many blacks in Arlington as a whole so it would be harder to get much higher, I think.)  I did try to find a home in one of the more diverse areas, but in the end, I just gave up and picked the house I liked and could afford that had good schools.  A lot of the diverse schools are in the middle of the county, close to Metro, so Metro drives the prices up.[/quote]
