[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is that a lot of white families had kids in MCPS and those kids graduated.  And the majority of new arrivals to the county have not been white.  Therefore white numbers went down and others went up.

I see this in my own neighborhood.  Most of my white neighbors are older couples - emptynesters.  Every time one of them moves out - a non-white family moves in. [/quote]

Just for the record this is my post above - and stating these facts does not make me a racist. In fact, we are a family of color that moved into the neighborhood too. I was just trying to answer the question that OP posed.  Trying to figure out why demographics are changing does not make you racist. It makes you curious.

Not the PP but want to echo this sentiment.  I posted above and we are also a mixed race family.  I am very curious about the changing demographics also.  Not racist but interested in seeing what the patterns are.  And I am absolutely not thrilled about the urbanization of MoCo.  Not because I'm worried about other people of color, but because I'm concerned about school overcrowding and crime/safety.  I don't love seeing every square inch of MoCo being covered by high density housing without much thought given to the school and traffic issues that will result.[/quote]

Then please write Floreen and Leggett this weekend. Things are a mess.[/quote]
