[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know her and she is a nice person and her family are nice people. I was always amazed at how "unsnobby" they are for people who have a pedigree to be snobby if they want.[/quote] I do not know her, but got the same impression that they are pretty "nice".  Even her drunken rant on integrating salons struck me (an AA) as one of those things my best (white) girlfriends say with best of intent, even if they don't understand what it would actually mean.  They seemed to show genuine respect and affection for Aunt Frances.  Scotch and fried chicken? Who wouldn't!?!

Seemed like she was doing a favor for the producers.  Couldn't figure out what business she was trying to push.  (I too love Leopold's and will continue to go, Lolly or no.)[/quote]
This is another reason I'm enjoying the show so far (besides seeing Leopold's on tv).  The anxiety over race and the different interpretations of comments is sooo DC.  I realize now that that's been missing from the other housewife shows, whether it's OC, ATL, NY or NJ.  Of course it's reflective of a greater problem affecting the whole country of unfinished (and often unspoken) business about racial inequity and prejudice but it just seems to me that for various reasons it is more likely to come to the surface in DC than in other places.
