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]

Wait, what if you are a white liberal who lives in Bethesda because that's where you work and living there means you can bike to work?  Does your commitment to the environment cancel out your bigoted?? choice to live in Bethesda?

Look, most people are trying to do the best they can for their families.  I think it's more complicated than just saying they should be willing to live in poorly rated school districts that happen to be more diverse in order to avoid being called a hypocrite for not condoning racism.  And before you attack me, I'm neither white nor do I live in Bethesda or any other highly rated, affluent, and mostly white school district (the opposite actually).[/quote]
