[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can look at McLean census tracts on this tool:

http://projects.nytimes.com/census/2010/explorer

The Chesterbrook area near Arlington is almost 90% white, but at least one other section of McLean has close to 40% minority residents.  It is indeed affluent, but it is more ethnically diverse than you implied, particularly when you consider that quite a few residents identified as white are Middle Eastern origins.  It's certainly not like some town in the Midwest where almost everyone is white and has ancestors who have lived in the same town for generations. [/quote]

The lowest concentration of Caucasians in the McLean census tract is in an area of 6,000 people, where the white residents make up only 53% of the total.  In every other tract of the McLean census, whites make up from 70-90+ % of the residents in the area.[/quote]

Um, OK.  So if you were the poster who said McLean was "almost exclusively white," you were wrong.  [/quote]
