This one doesn't make any sense. These people usually face discrimination.[/quote]

Not in DC. Unlike other parts of the US, the ultra-educated crowd couldn't: care a wit who someone loves or who they are sleeping with. It is a status symbol to have those types of friends in the NWDC crowd. [/quote]

I totally know what you mean. But I live on a nice street in upper nw and no one is like that. Pretty much all of my neighbors are basic couples many with kids of all ages, a deal of diversity, AA, a few Asians, but mostly white lawyers and finance or business types. I always wonder where the fascinating people live. Closer to downtown? What do you think?[/quote]

I think the point was, it's the relative scarcity of same-sex multi-racial couples, in combination with the fact that school admission staff see them as really desirable, that makes them such a shoe-in for admission.[/quote]

Did no one see that episode of Modern Family where cam and Mitch became aware they could get into the elite private preschool b/c they were a gay couple with an Asian adopted child?  Elite schools love all that "diversity".  They were a shoo-in...until the adopted African boy with the lesbian parents (one of which was in a wheelchair) showed up.  One up-ed on the diversity![/quote]

Forgot to mention the lesbian couple was racially mixed as well.[/quote]
