[quote=Anonymous]When we looked at neighborhood we didn't specifically look for race, but we did look for religion (we are white and Jewish). As another poster mentioned we preferred MD to VA for this reason. And we wanted to be relatively near a synagogue. We did look at one neighborhood where we felt a bit uncomfortable because it was about 80% black and we felt like people might resent us or think we were "gentrifying." We would have no problem with black neighbors or living in a majority black neighborhood except that we did not want to be the outsiders. As Jews we are accustomed to being outsiders already and just did not want a double strike. I still think about that neighborhood sometimes. It was lovely and the people seemed nice, and we would've gotten a lot more house for our money. [/quote]
