[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Um, that "whiter more affluent charter hustle" in DC likely still has far more socioeconomic diversity than your Bethesda school, which last time I checked were over 60% white. There's likely more white kids in your kid's Bethesda classroom than there are in that "hustled affluent DC charter" you're complaining about. So again, mind those glass houses.[/quote]

I'm a white liberal actually living my values.  My upper middle class white kids are at a school with a 50% FARMS rate and that is majority minority.  Try again.[/quote]

Well good.

Then please don't insult other liberals by automatically assuming we aren't and worse yet, leaping straight to accusing us of hypocrisy.  Especially when we all know that less-liberal leaning folks are far less interested in diversity than we are.[/quote]

If you are a white liberal in a HRC or living in Bethesda, then I don't see how you can tell yourself you are living your values.  Just because mouth breathing racists are worse than you, doesn't make you virtuous.  It just makes you better than them.  Great.  You are less (openly) racist than a Trump supporter.  But unless you are actively living your values, the only thing you are doing is voting for the right things.  Necessary but not sufficient. [/quote]
