[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to mention the obvious self segregation. Spanish speaking people have moved into certain areas with the most Spanish speaking businesses and services. That's why certain schools are nearly 100% Hispanic (Weller Rd Elem). No one forced them to move to that area. They chose it to be close to their friends, family and support network. And they love their school and community. It's a bit paternalistic for us to assume they would prefer to bus their kids elsewhere to have the benefit of sitting in a classroom with white kids. [/quote]

Oh please.

They move to places they can afford, as we all do.[/quote]

I don't buy it. [b]Let's say you have $X to spend on a house. There are various parts of the county where you can get similar housing,[/b] so why wouldn't people choose the one that's closer to family, friends, and services?

Same reason there's so many Asians in Rockville. There is similar-priced housing in other parts of the county, but those areas don't have nearly the choice of Asian groceries, restaurants, etc.[/quote]

Let's say you have $1,600 a month to spend on rent. And you want to live in Bethesda, or Potomac, or Chevy Chase -- you know, where the "good" schools are. Well, too bad for you, because you can't.[/quote]
