[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am new to dc and I noticed the stark difference between the two types of segregation. Private schools are happy if they are racially diverse, but not so happy to be diverse in terms of socioeconomic  groups. If find this attitude a bit schizophrenic. Do you think this is ok? [/quote]

Because private schools are full of hypocrite latte socialist parents and board members who are all about virtue signaling to make themselves look good. Racial diversity is much easier to accomplish than socio economic diversity. There are minorities with money out there and the school is happy to have them and feature their kids on the cover of their brochures. That's little work with an outcome you can showcase easily. Much much harder to achieve socio economic diversity, and it's a lot harder to showcase on a brochure. That's a lot of work (fundraising) with an outcome you can't easily showcase. No one wants to work very hard for that. 
That's why I never bought into this whole DEI stuff. You want real diversity? Get the rich kids to interact with the poor inner city kids. THAT's true diversity. Everything other than that is lip service.[/quote]
