[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say one would have had plenty of positive and negative interactions with people of all shades, creeds, races in this region. Honest question, how can someone still have such views when the area is so diverse? [/quote] I a white woman. I grew up in the inner city of Kansas City, Missouri. D.C. was segregated to me with only two races, black and white. In other cities, there are more working class families from all different backgrounds and races who got along with each other. Think "King of Queens" where the husbands were both UPS drivers, white couple best friends with the black couple. Other cities aren't reminded daily of the history of slavery, with Mount Vernon and it's slave quarters. The history is more about labor unions, workers vs. management. D.C. isn't really diverse of people from different backgrounds and ethnicities who have been U S. citizens for generations. [/quote]
