[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the thing is.. those places are more republican than liberal... and more white not ...and do have tons of immigrants but there is a HUGE caveat.

[b]The type of immigrant you are matters.[/b] A Hispanic immigrant will be treated a lot different than an European immigrant. For example, if you are Hispanic, it's automatically assumed you are poor, household help, or that you dont live in the more affluent areas. I am not sure of your ethnicity, but keep that in mind.

The more affluent the place is, and the further you are away from white and wealthy appearing, the less people will treat you like you belong. I am an Arlington resident and frequently disgusted at how people move to the other side of the street when a hispanic person is approaching them, or how people dont stop at a crosswalk for anyone of color but will stop for someone who is white (there's actually been studies on this, but I see it first hand daily). This gets worse the whiter/conservative/wealthier you go in VA. I could go on and on, but I am a minority in an affluent area and can promise you that if you are the "wrong" ethnicity, it wont be a cake walk. However, dont let this deter you from living where you want. You will be able to find like-minded friends wherever you go, you just have to deal with the bullshit that might surround you.  If you and your kids have tough skin and can ignore ignorance and rise above it, you'll be just fine. [/quote]

Exactly. OP if you're Asian you'll be fine.[/quote]
