Third, be prepared for major culture, social, and identity shock - especially if you SAH and end up living in a less diverse area. I have been really lonely and not being skinny/blonde/30s/Black SUV driver has basically made me a pariah among the local moms where we currently live.  [/quote]
 Where do you live that's like this?  I'm Asian American and used to live on the Peninsula.  There aren't *that* many places around the Bay Area that is this white.[/quote]

PP - We're currently in the Lamorinda/Danville/CCC area. I'm in a local moms group with a "diversity" subgroup and this is a common complaint. Only the nannies talk to me.  [/quote]
Ah yes... the more east you go, the more "whiter" it is.  Sunnyvale area has a lot more Asians.

Unfortunately, OP is AA, and there aren't many places in SV where there is a sizeable AA population.  Not to say that there aren't *any*. Certainly in my Peninsula neighborhood, we had a few, but again, not sizeable.  I wouldn't worry about any racism, though.  The whole SV has so many expats and foreign workers, they are used to "other" looking people.[/quote]
