I am not sure there are any expensive lilly white 99.999% white neighborhoods, maybe you are thinking about southern Virginia where there is less diversity? Every neighborhood in the DC area with a high great school rating tend to be at least 20-40% minority. Thanks for the uneducated stereotype.[/quote]

In NoVa the idea is to live in a place that is 70% white, 30% asian, and 100% high SES, and to point to the asian percentage to show you are not a bigot, while hating and fearing blacks, most hispanics, and poor people of any color.  [/quote]

What are you blathering about?  NoVa is far more diverse than DC and most parts of the country.  [/quote]

Seriously. DC's majority black -- it's not very diverse at all.[/quote]

DC isn't majority black any longer, but DCPS tends to have schools that are either almost entirely white (upper NW) or entirely black (other parts of the city).  There are very few schools in DCPS that have the diversity of a typical NoVa school (perhaps a few in Capitol Hill or NW EOTP, but that's it).    [/quote]

I don't know what you mean by typical.    Recall this discussion is about great schools rankings. The NoVa schools with rankings of 9 or 10 are far from typical of NoVa schools in general. [/quote]
