[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're all out here in the midwest.  [/quote]

As someone who grew up in one of the more liberal/educated areas midwest and has a lot of friends who still live there--this is probably partially true, but only if you're white.[/quote]

+1.  Also, I'll point out that all of those saying there are no down to earth people in this area must be talking about areas with lots of white, affluent, transplants.  I'm a POC and I know a ton of down to earth people and areas in DC and close-in MoCo.[/quote]

There are plenty. And there are also plenty of DC natives, in spite of the stereotype that everyone is a student government wannabe who moved here from somewhere else.[/quote]

PP here, totally agree.  I live in an EOTP NW neighborhood with lots of DC natives, in addition to [b]a growing number of transplants.[/b]  Most people are pretty down to earth, although busy (not many SAHPs).  I think I've only ever given one parent the side eye, for name-dropping.[/quote]

PP again.  Another thing is that the transplants here live in a majority minority neighborhood and mostly send their kids to the majority minority neighborhood school.  And, for the most part, they are not acting like those portrayed in "Nice White Parents."  They tend to be a bit more chill and comfortable with diversity, and were not gunning for WOTP schools with the best test scores and majority white students.[/quote]
