[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, Hillcrest is a wonderful place. I’ve heard it’s all $7M homes. [/quote]

I mean,  Vince Gray lived in Ward 7. There are many, many upper middle class Black families there. [/quote]

Yes, the stats are what they are. The anecdotes are what they are.[/quote]

And the Black middle class is invisible to lots of white people in DC.[/quote]

DC has a relatively small middle class, in general -- regardless of color. [/quote]

You keep saying this like there are like 10 middle class families in DC so it's fine to ignore them.

There are tens of thousands of middle class families in DC. They ALL send their kids to public school because they have no other choice (unlike UMC and wealthy families, who have many other choices). There are middle class families at your school. Many! I know your preference is to ignore them because acknowledging that your income and priorities are not "the norm" is hard for you. There are more middle class families in public schools in DC than UMC and wealthy families. I know you are certain that can't be the case because "everyone" you know is UMC or above. You are blind to your own biases.[/quote]
