[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Darien's demographics - 96% white. Both Darien and Greenwich are very expensive places to live. On DCUM, it's okay to want to live in such a segregated area; but the folks in more diverse areas are racists for any signs of segregation by SES and/or race within schools, towns, etc.  :roll:  [/quote]

It is not a "segregated area" you need to look up what that actually means in the dictionary before you start throwing it around.[/quote]

It is in no way a diverse population.[/quote]

You still have not looked up "segregated" obviously.[/quote]

PP here. "Segregation" can occur as people from certain groups and with the financial means live in certain areas. That's a form of segregation. [/quote]

There is no official segregation in those towns. And if you look at the minority numbers for Greenwich schools which serve those towns and which have already been posted up thread, you'll see minority students account for almost 40% of the population.

I don’t think anyone said it’s diverse. They’re just objecting to the term “segregation.” Fact is, most of us couldn’t afford to live there, regardless of our skin color.

When a place like Darien has a median family income of almost $200,000 and its residents are approximately 96% white, that's not a diverse community. At all.
