[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I lived in the Deep South, I spent a lot more time with black people than I do now in DC. I went to school with them, played sports with them. Traveled to school events and sat together on the bus. I'd call them friends, and I think it was reciprocal. North Arlington is nowhere near as integrated as my life in a southern state.[/quote] North Arlington is nowhere near as integrated as Montgomery or Fairfax, much less Georgia. [/quote] There's a long history of racial housing discrimination in Arlington. Redlining and restrictive covenants led to segregated neighborhoods, and the effects are still noticeable today. Some people living in North Arlington still have restrictive covenants (now unenforceable) on their deeds. https://arlingtonva.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2020/08/VirginiaTech_ArlingtonStudy_HistoryofResidentialDevelopmentandPlanning.pdf[/quote]
