[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is mostly a segregated city in and of itself.

And I've seen people on here hope it becomes more so. [/quote]

What do you mean?  In what context?[/quote]

I think the racial demographics of schools/areas speaks for itself.

^ that is a very clear picture of segregation.

And I've seen people on here hoping their area gentrifies (spelling?) quicker than it is. People on here are literally posting that they hope poor black people move to other areas quicker than it's happening. [/quote]

I don't think the segregation of housing or schools is at issue. What is at issue is your assertion that people here want more segregation rather than less.

Does gentrification inherently mean the city is less diverse?  In my area, what has been called gentrification has meant more diversity rather than less. I would argue that post gentrification, Petworth is more diverse. [/quote]
