[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My perspective--

I see it as my job to prepare my children for tomorrow's world. Tomorrow's world is increasingly brown. We are white and have a comfortable HHI, Ivy League education, and I didn't want my kids raised like I was-- knowing hardly any black people or Hispanic people.

So we chose a close in diverse neighborhood in NE DC. We send our kids to a very diverse charter school. By choice and by happenstance, because where we love makes this easy-- 
- our kids' pediatricians are AA women running their own practice
- our kids' dentist is an AA woman 
- our kids' principle is an AA woman
- our kids' music teacher is an AA man
- and of course our kids' President is an AA man

We have neighbors who are gay married men.

Diversity and tolerance are core values in our lives. We chose a place that helps us live that, and that helps prepare our children for the diverse, vibrant world they will be living in.[/quote]

We are a very similar background, except that we are a biracial family.  And I completely agree with you. We live in Silver Spring (near downtown) in a diverse neighborhood. [/quote]
