[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MOCO is a terrible example it’s far more segregated. I would say Charles County has a better distribution of race class mix than other counties locally. [/quote]

The individual neighborhoods are heavily segregated. The area as a whole can be considered diverse but it’s not a mix of people from various backgrounds and income levels living on the same street. [/quote]

You’re conflating two indicators: race/ethnicity and income levels.

You are correct that MoCo is segregated by income level; we only have a few pockets of the county with a wide range of household incomes. But the county isn’t segregated by race. That simply isn’t true. [/quote]

This is part of a larger issue- loudly exclaiming diversity simply because more people of color or a variety of incomes come to a certain county. But are the resources available to those “diverse” communities (neighborhoods) the same as those for the “majority” communities? Are they created equal? If not, can you really claim this as true diversity or is it diversity by segregation which is not always separate but equal as we have seen for years.
