[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is a POC and attends Deal. She attended a JKLM elementary. I have to say I'm disappointed that even after moving to a more diverse school all her new friends are white (maybe because all of her elementary school friends were white?). [/quote]

Deal is 45% white 35% black 20% hispanic.  Many different classes--from homeless (a few) to working class to the kids of law partners and dual physician families.   As a fed/nurse family I feel like we're very much at the 50% of income.

It's a pretty awesome mixture that isn't found many places.  however, I would agree that the kids mostly socialize along race lines.  My 7th grade white son has 2 good friends who are black--one he met during elementary and one at Deal.  
The positive thing is that the kids of all colors are working shoulder to shoulder together on school projects, etc.  It's probably as good as it gets.  People tend to gravitate towards people like them.  it's fascinating.  [/quote]

Where your Asian people at?  That’s 100% right there.[/quote]

they're in suburbia.  Very few asians in DC proper. [/quote]
