[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One more vote for the diversity in NoVa.  You have to understand that diversity means different things to different people. In DC, [b]diversity is code for  "black" and maybe "Hispanic" [/b]in some parts of the city.  In NoVA, diversity means actual diversity, lots of people from lots of places. In my close-in, non-posh NoVa neighborhood I can count people from 15 countries off the top of my head in the 5-block radius:

It's not 'code' for anything it's basic math.  Those are the 2 largest minority groups in the United States.  I think it's fair to say an area lacking people from those backgrounds lacks diversity.  And before you start, I'd say the same thing for most parts of Prince George's county - they lack diversity.  [/quote]
[b]But diversity isn't connected to who is the largest minority group, is it? Diversity means lots of people from lots of places.  A classroom with a white, black, Hispanic, Korean, Indian and French kid is more diverse than a classroom with a white and a black kid, and certainly more diverse than a classroom with only black kids.  NoVa doesn't lack blacks or Hispanics, it just has plenty of other people, too.   In DC, a "diverse" school means a school with white and black kids, which I would argue is a very limited expression of diversity (except the Janney kind of diversity with WB/IMF/embassy kids).[/quote][/b]
