[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, isn't that club (and/or the Columbia Country Club just down the road) still lily white? As in no blacks or Jews allowed? If so, 25% of a given class is a lot and gives me pause. I hope you are wrong.[/quote]

Not true.  There are members at Chevy who are both Black and Jewish and have sons at STA.  I know these various families.  Nice people as are most of the. Chevy members.  I know lots of families who belong to Columbia. Also nice people.  Columbia is largely made up of Catholic families who kids go to Mater Dei, Blessed Sacrament, Gtown Prep, Visi etc...  I am sure there are so Columbia members who have kids at STA but I can't think of any I know myself.

Lots of Congressional members too - a club which is also inclusive of blacks and Jews.  The only folks excluded are the ones who can't afford them.  It's classism these days not race or religion. I don't think that old school lily white country club exists in Washington anymore.  Baltimore, yes, but not Washington.[/quote]
