[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is certainly more diversity today: There are way more Jews, Blacks, Asians and other groups living in the formerly all-white neighborhoods of upper NW although this part of DC could still be labeled Caucasia as we used to do - decades ago.  I think some people are triggered by seeing large groups of African American students at JR HS and hanging out at adjacent Tenleytown. [/quote]

You sound like someone who just moved to this city and only knows it from how you imagined it. Jews are new to upper-NW? Did you know a much larger portion of the student body of Jackson-Reed (then Wilson) was black a few decades back?

The difference is, when I saw a student caught shoplifting ~2000 (for a couple items, not openly stripping shelves), a bunch of police cars immediately showed up. They took pictures of him and banned him from the store, took him to the office at Wilson, told him he was doing time if he was caught again. Nowadays? I saw a student openly grab something in front of a police officer. Even after the police officer stopped him, he acted like it wasn't a problem, and just said he didn't have any ID on him.

The lawlessness is what's new. If you think black students are new to Jackson-Reed, then you really have no clue about the area.[/quote]
